Opera Steamboat, in partnership with Piknik Theatre, will present the Opera Cowgirls in concert at the newly completed Branham Strawberry Park Amphitheater in Steamboat Springs, Colorado on July 3, 2026.

The ensemble has performed at venues ranging from BAM’s Lepercq Space and Le Poisson Rouge in New York to Cedar Rapids Opera Theatre, Pensacola Opera, San Francisco Ballet, and West Texas A&M University, and was presented by Pittsburgh Opera as part of the opening celebrations for the 2023 OPERA America Conference.

The Steamboat Springs concert takes place as the Cowgirls also prepare for involvement in the world premiere of “Carmen: The Traveler,” conceived by McKechney and to be presented by Pensacola Opera.

The performance kicks off at at 7 p.m. local time.
