A Historic Partnership with Opera Colorado
Seawell Ballroom, Denver Center for the Performing Arts
November 8, 2025 5:30PM
Attire: Military Mess Dress / Civilian Formal Attire
An Event 250 Years in the Making
Join us for an unforgettable night as we celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States Marine Corps—a historic milestone honoring two-and-a-half centuries of courage, commitment, and selfless service to our Nation.
In proud partnership with Opera Colorado, this special evening at the iconic Seawell Ballroom in Denver will blend the timeless traditions of the Corps with the power and beauty of opera, paying tribute to generations of Marines who have stood at the tip of the spear — from the birth of our Nation in 1775 to the campaigns of today.
Guests will experience a formal ceremony steeped in Marine Corps history, two stirring performances by the Opera Colorado Artists in Residence, and a night of fellowship and celebration with Marines, members of all branches of the military, veterans, and patrons from across the country.
Whether you’ve worn the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor or stand proudly in support, this evening offers a meaningful opportunity to honor a legacy defined by sacrifice, unity, and purpose. Together, we celebrate not only the distinguished history of the Marine Corps, but the enduring spirit that will guide its mission for the next 250 years.
Semper Fidelis.
