Mission: Opera Colorado is based in Denver, Colorado. Since its inception in 1983, we have been committed to presenting the highest quality live performances of opera in their original languages.

Our mission is to connect our Colorado community to the emotions and stories of the world through traditional and innovative opera and educational programming that is accessible to all.

We believe that opera plays a vital role in enriching our community. Every day, Opera Colorado removes barriers to make opera accessible and affordable and tells stories that excite and connect us in meaningful ways. Our distinct contribution to our city's cultural life is centered on our grand opera productions at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, with additional performances and educational experiences presented live and distributed digitally throughout the seven-county metropolitan area and the state.

Opera Colorado is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 1981, and donations are tax-deductible.
