Trinidad residents, prepare to be dazzled by the University of Colorado Boulder Opera Theatre Singers, who are scheduled to perform at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 8 at the Massari Theatre at Trinidad State Junior College (TSJC).

Songs performed will include favorites from The Light in the Piazza, Bizet’s Carmen, Les Miserables, and Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro.
The CU-Boulder Opera Theatre Singers were founded in 2009 as the outreach group of the CU-Boulder Opera program. These talented CU-Boulder students perform for schools, civic groups, and special events across the state. The Opera program at CU-Boulder was been designated a Program of Excellence by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education.

They can be purchased at the door the evening of event or in advance at the Trinidad Community Foundation, 134 West Main Street in Suite 24, or Curiosities, 305 West Main Street.
