Starting Sunday December 13th, Denver Theatre District will be hosting live open stage caroling, lead by  Opera on Tap Colorado, at the Denver Performing Arts Complex. Join us from 5:30pm – 7:30pm nightly Tuesday – Sunday (and some matinees). We’ll provide songbooks if you want to sing along and even incentivize you with free hot cocoa!

If you’re heading out to the Arts Complex for a show on these dates, plan on arriving a few minutes early!

Sunday, Dec. 13: 12pm-2pm and 5:30-7:30pm

We’re also caroling at the Ugly Sweater Run at Dick’s Sporting Good Park on Saturday, December 19 from 10am-12pm – sign up to run and we’ll cheer you on!

Opera auditions go like this: a singer walks into a room they’ve never been in before, hands a list of five arias to a panel of judgey opera company representatives and the singer introduces what they will sing first. After performing the first aria, while the panel invariably types on their laptops and whispers about who knows what, the panel – HOPEFULLY! – chooses the next aria they would like to hear.

This is a seriously sucky experience for most singers, but a necessary evil.

Let’s make it way more fun!

Our singers will sing their first aria for an appreciative audience who will cheer them on (that’s you!) while eating and drinking and enjoying life! Then at intermission you will get to vote for what you would like to hear next from each singer’s list of arias and then we sing it for you – to more cheering! Yay!
