Colorado mountain towns boast a fine tradition of opera (AP)

In all, about 150 opera houses were built in Colorado between 1860 and 1920. Thirteen are still in operation, including several in once-struggling mountain mining towns such as Aspen and Crested Butte. Three operas will be staged this summer as part of the Aspen Music Festival: “La Cenerentola,” “Hansel and Gretel” and “Cendrillon.” The Crested Butte Music Festival is staging “Falstaff.” Opera Fort Collins offers “La Boheme.”
