Opera Steamboat has announced a one-night collaborative performance with Opera Colorado on May 21, 2026 at the Art Depot in Steamboat Springs.

The evening will feature a program of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Pirates of Penzance” alongside a selection of arias and ensembles, showcasing Artists in Residence from Opera Colorado’s Opera on Tour program.

The cast features three returning artists. Baritone Mason O’Brien, previously seen with Opera Steamboat in “Welcome to the Madness,” joins bass-baritones Kevin Spooner and Oliver Poveda Zavala, both of whom appeared with the company in “La Bohème.”

“Opera Colorado is excited to partner with Opera Steamboat to strengthen the opera eco-system in our state. This partnership celebrates what is possible when organizations come together to bring music, storytelling, and community into harmony. It is inspired in a shared belief that opera belongs in every community, creating meaningful connections and memorable artistic experiences for audiences from all walks of life in Colorado and beyond,” said Opera Colorado per an official statement.
