Come celebrate forty-one years of world-class opera in Denver at the 2024 Opera Colorado Gala. Join us for an exquisite evening that kicks off with a champagne greeting, a social reception with canapés and themed libations, a wine-paired multi-course dinner, a live auction of signature experiences, and an afterparty that you will not want to miss. You will enjoy a dinner performance by special guest, soprano Sharleen Joynt, joined by the 2023-24 Artists in Residence. All proceeds support our artistic initiatives, education, and community engagement programs.
Reserve your space today! Tickets and tables are now on sale.
