Opera League Announces Feb. 12th Gala

The Pikes Peak Opera League announces its fifth annual Gala Evening in February to benefit Opera Theatre of the Rockies. This special event highlights the strong partnership between Opera Theatre and the Pikes Peak Opera League. The Gala evening begins with a social hour and silent auction at 5:30 at the elegant downtown Antlers Hotel. This is followed by a wonderful dinner at 7 pm and a special concert of exotic opera arias and classic music theater songs at 8 pm with Opera Theatre ensemble singers transporting you to foreign lands.

Now in its 36th Year, the Pikes Peak Opera League is an active group of 200 dedicated opera enthusiasts who meet monthly on the first Wednesday morning to share their love of the art form. Talented artists present a professional music program at every meeting. The League welcomes new members to attend a meeting and then join the organization at any time. This special event is one of many the League presents year-round throughout the community. The featured February Gala evening has become very popular, having been sold out each year. So, please get your tickets soon. It is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

"Opera Theatre of the Rockies is most grateful to the Pikes Peak Opera League for their unending support and dedication," says its Founder and Artistic Director, Martile Rowland. "The hard work of their wonderful volunteers throughout the year is nothing short of remarkable. We are so fortunate in Colorado Springs to be able to say we have such an outstanding group of opera lovers who come together and allow us to showcase our company's extraordinary talent. What a splendid way to spend an evening celebration - with warm camaraderie, delicious food and glorious music."

The 'Magic Carpet Ride to Exotic Locales" Gala Event is sponsored by the Antlers Hotel, Wells Fargo Private Fund, KCME Classical 88.7 radio and The Gazette.
