by BWW News Desk - Nov 02, 2012
Opera Colorado presents its second annual fall cabaret, Sideshow!, at the Studio Loft at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House at the Denver Performing Arts Complex (14th Street between Curtis and Champa Streets) on November 1, 2 and 3, 2012, as part of Denver Arts Week. The ridiculous love triangle of Doctor Gregg, Lola Markham, the anesthetist, and her fiance, Donald Hopewell, plays out in the stereotypical TV soap opera hospital setting in Douglas Moore's Gallantry. Experience this 1950's episode live, complete with commercial interruptions for Billy Boy Wax and Lochinvar Soap by the announcer. After intermission, the cast changes gears and presents two sets of timeless cabaret and jazz favorites from William Bolcom and Cole Porter, including "Over the Piano," "The Last Lousy Moments of Love," "Night and Day," "I Get a Kick Out of You," and more.

News Desk - Apr 13, 2012
Opera Idaho will present Douglas Moore's The Ballad of Baby Doe, April 13 & 15, 2012. Based on the lives of actual historical figures Horace Tabor, Elizabeth "Baby" Doe Tabor, and Augusta Tabor, the opera tracks their lives from Horace and Baby Doe's meeting to the death of Horace.

Horace Tabor's "Warm as the Autumn Light" is also frequently heard. Distinguished sopranos who have portrayed Baby Doe include Beverly Sills (Moore's favorite interpreter of the role), Karan Armstrong and Elizabeth Futral. (more...)
