Join Central City Opera for an unforgettable evening honoring the pioneering spirit that built Colorado. Set against the Denver Art Museum’s architectural splendor, we’ll gather to enjoy cocktails, dinner, and live performances while raising essential support for Central City Opera’s mission.

This exclusive event will celebrate an extraordinary convergence of Colorado history in 2026: our state's 150th anniversary, Central City Opera's 94th Summer Festival season, and the highly anticipated return of The Ballad of Baby Doe to our historic stage in July — 70 years after we commissioned this iconic American opera that immortalized Colorado's silver barons and the mining boom that built our state.

Dress in your finest gold and silver as a tribute to the precious metals and bold elegance that defined Colorado's Gilded Age.
