Event Description

Friday, July 20th & Saturday, July 28th at 7pm

This stylized and comic opera, staged in English, will be set in the Wild West of Colorado's Grand Valley! The story, taking place in the 1890s, features Dr. Carl Eratta, a traveling con-artist who turns a ranch topsy-turvy with promises about his magical elixir. The snake-oil salesman convinces a penniless cowboy to squander his last two bits on a love potion (in fact a local vintage wine!), in order to win the heart of the wealthy ranch owner. Whacky situations and crazy twists ensue.

General admission tickets are available beginning June 15th. Get your tickets online at highdesertopera.org, or by calling the High Desert Opera Box Office at 523-9605 Monday through Friday, 10am to 2pm. Advanced reserved tickets are available to High Desert Opera patrons beginning June 4th. Visit highdesertopera.org for general information.
