Ellie Caulkins Opera House at the Quigg Newton Auditorium / Semple Brown Design
Bruno Taddia, born in Pavia, Italy, began his musical training with the violin. After his stage debut at the prestigious Rossini Opera Festival in Il viaggio a Reims (Don Alvaro) he began to collaborate with many of the top musical institutions in the world. Recently, he starred in Iphigénie en Tauride, Winterreise, The Daughter of the Regiment, L’Elisir d’amore, Don Pasquale, and made a role debut in Falstaff. He also appeared in the new recording of Vivaldi edition’s Tamerlano as Bajazet, under the baton of Ottavio Dantone.
The Ellie Caulkins Opera House is located in Denver, Colorado as part of the large Denver Performing Arts Complex. The Caulkins family pledged $7 million towards the enhancement of the lyric opera house and adjacent public spaces which were constructed inside of the Newton Auditorium. The Ellie Caulkins Opera House, known simply as “the Ellie,” is the premier venue inside of the historic Quigg Newton Denver Municipal Auditorium. With a rich and eventful history since opening in 1908, the Ellie has been renovated many times and most notably in the early 2000s when everything but its historic shell was rebuilt into a lyric opera house.
AXS Mobile Delivery provides the flexibility and convenience of safely and securely managing tickets online, eliminates paper tickets and allows you to enter the venue with your AXS Mobile ID. AXS is the ticketing services provider for City of Denver venues, including many shows at the Arts Complex that are not being presented by the four resident organizations. Tickets for the Colorado Ballet are available 24 hours a day online and by phone with staff available to assist Monday - Friday from 10am to 4pm.
Through seat tax revenues and bond proceeds, private donations and a generous gift from the Caulkins family, the venue reopened in 2005 as the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, honoring Denver's First Lady of Opera, Ellie Caulkins. Possessed of a voice the New York Times calls “clarion-toned”, the American tenor John Bellemer has gained a reputation for his strong portrayals in a wide range of repertoire. Bellemer has appeared in leading roles at opera houses across North America and Europe and was featured as Gounod’s Faust in the Academy Award-nominated film Lincoln. In all, the city spent $75 million, while private donors provided $17 million more. The gift from the Caulkins family was used to fund additional enhancements to the lyric opera house and adjacent public spaces inside the Newton Auditorium. The Auditorium became the de facto opera house for Denver, and the most enduring.
The Denver Performing Arts Complex is located on your right, between 13th and 14th Streets. The main entrance to the DPAC parking garage is on Arapahoe Street. Bellemer began choral singing as a young child and continued throughout his school years, eventually choosing to study voice over medicine at James Madison University where he received his Bachelor of Music degree. He went on to complete his master’s degree in music at the University of Illinois. Most DCPA shows take place inside the Denver Performing Arts Complex (managed by Denver Arts and Venues) in the heart of the theatre district. AXS Mobile Delivery is the primary admission method for AXS ticketed events at the Arts Complex.
OPERA COLORADO
His interpretations combine a wide range of characters in the baroque, classical, and contemporary operatic repertoire as well as in the symphonic and vocal chamber music. In addition to serving the needs of the audience, the opera house is also designed to serve the needs of the performer. Semple Brown Design created backstage spaces designed to make performers comfortable and at ease. The facility is humidified to protect fragile instruments and fragile voices. The off-stage areas feel like a home with comfortable areas to read or roomy dressing rooms that can accommodate a full-sized Bösendorfer piano for rehearsals and warm-ups.
The Denver Center for the Performing Arts Box Office is located at the Arts Complex in the Helen Bonfils Theatre Complex. No event parking is available inside the complex lot, as these spaces are reserved for local residents. Therefore, many Opera Colorado events held at the rehearsal studio also offer complimentary valet parking for ticketbuyers. At such events, staff will be on-site to direct you to valet parking. Limited, free street parking may also available on South Navajo Street. This garage offers 1000 additional parking spaces and is located across the street from the Denver Performing Arts Complex.
