Central City Opera Announces 2021 Festival Featuring Verdi, Purcell & Rodgers & Hammerstein

By Francisco Salazar

The Central City Opera has announced its 2021 season.

The Colorado company said that after postponing the 2020 Festival to 2021 due to COVID-19, it will partner with Hudson Gardens & Event Center to present the 2021 Festival productions.

In a statement, Pelham “Pat” Pearce, Central City Opera’s General/Artistic Director said, “We had hoped that by now it would be safe to return to the Opera House and resume normal operations. In order to prioritize the health and safety of our patrons, performers, and company members, we determined it was necessary to secure an outdoor venue in order to return to live, in-person performances this summer. We are thrilled to partner with Hudson Gardens to host our 2021 Festival in their beautiful outdoor amphitheater.”

This year the festival will present Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “Carousel” and Verdi’s “Rigoletto” in an open-air space and will use social-distancing guidelines at Hudson Gardens in Littleton, Colo. Meanwhile, Purcell’s “Dido and Aeneas” and the CCO Al Fresco concert series will be presented in the Opera House Gardens in Central City.

The company will contact 2020 subscribers directly by our Box Office over the next couple of weeks about ticket options for 2021.
