Opera Colorado and The Stanley Hotel are set to join forces to offer a one-of-a-kind event Feb. 5 and 6, 2022 that explores the operatic adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, “The Shining.”

The weekend at The Stanley Hotel, priced at $2,000 per room, will include an intimate performance of highlights from the opera, a one-night stay at The Lodge at The Stanley, offering a historic boutique experience and a variety of amenities including updated rooms and a relaxing lounge. King, Queen, and Suite rooms will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, an elegant cocktail hour and three-course dinner at The Lodge at The Stanley, and a continental breakfast featuring a Q&A with Paul Moravec and Mark Campbell.

The proceeds, totaling over $100,000, will benefit Opera Colorado’s Education and Community Engagement Programs.

In a statement, John Cullen, President of the Grand Heritage Hotel Group said, “We are proud to present The Shining at the hotel that inspired Stephen King’s book. Our hotel was built in 1909 and the Concert Hall is also an amazing part of our history. We invite friends and supporters of Opera Colorado to join us for a truly amazing performance of The Shining where it all began, at the Stanley Hotel.”

Additionally,  Greg Carpenter, Opera Colorado’s General & Artistic Director noted, “Opera Colorado is thrilled to partner with The Stanley Hotel to shed light on this exciting, new opera we are bringing to Denver this winter. The combination of exquisite food and captivating music against the backdrop of the iconic Stanley will be a unique experience for our guests and artists alike.”

“The Shining ” by composer Paul Moravec and librettist Mark Campbell, is set to star Edward Parks, Kelly Kaduce, Kevin Deas, Vale Rideout, Troy Cook, and Joesph Gaines.  The production opens on March 6, 2022.
