Carpenter stated that the artistic goals for the new season build on the company’s recent successes. “As we move into the future, Opera Colorado will strive to present at least one opera per season that is either new to Opera Colorado, new to Denver audiences or rarely performed in Colorado,” Carpenter said. “We are particularly excited that the 09/10 season will also introduce Denver audiences to many new artists, including conductors, designers, directors, and singers.” All together, twenty-nine artists will make their Opera Colorado debuts next season when all casting is complete.
Carpenter believes this artistic strategy will build Opera Colorado audiences for the future. “So far this season, we have seen great success with this approach,” Carpenter stated. “Our fall performance of Puccini’s Madama Butterfly was a runaway hit. That success has continued into the new year as we are experiencing strong ticket sales for our production of The Pearl Fishers, the first performance of this opera in the Rocky Mountain region. Giving our audiences both familiar options and opportunities to explore unfamiliar works and experience the work of new artists will build a diverse audience and donor base which is vital to our company’s future.”
