The company’s new season, which kicks off June 29, comes with a well-deserved accolade. On opening night, there will be a pre-show ceremony where it will be inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. There will be a short and formal moment honoring the organization, along with singers Cynthia Lawrence and Keith Miller and the late conductor John Moriarty.
As far as this season goes, “Pirates of Penzance,” a familiar and oft-performed comedy, is the opera that will get folks in the door. But the other two titles carry their own allure. The late director and conductor John Moriarty will be inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame, along with the company, on June 29.
Central City is unique among opera companies because it also owns and operates 28 historic properties in the city, which include several miner’s cottages that were built in the 1800s.
