Summer 2026 Lineup:
- Opera Bus to Central City Opera, The Ballad of Baby Doe
Saturday, July 18th 2026 | All day Event | Departing from KCME station (1921 N Weber St, Colorado Springs, CO 80907) at 10:00 a.m. to Central City.
In 2026, three anniversaries converge on a single stage: America turns 250, Colorado celebrates 150 years of statehood, and The Ballad of Baby Doe marks 70 years since its world premiere at Central City Opera. Based on the true story of silver baron Horace Tabor and the young woman who scandalized Denver society to be with him, this epic American opera captures pioneering ambition, passionate love, and devotion that outlasted fortune itself. Legendary soprano and CCO alumna Cynthia Lawrence directs this brand-new production—your chance to discover Baby Doe for the first time, or fall in love with it all over again. In collaboration with KCME, Central City Opera presents a special package for this occasion: bus from KCME headquarters in Colorado Springs to see The Ballad of Baby Doe. Availability is limited, so reserve your package today.
Admission is handled by CCO, call 303-292-6700 to purchase yours today.
