Feb 25-26 at 2.30pm
The opera, The Ballad of Baby Doe, with its tuneful, popular style and soaring melodies, is a brilliant evocation of the mining era in the American West and a true portrait of life in Leadville, Denver, and even Washington, D.C. Strongly based in historical fact, it addresses Populism and the Free Silver movement, as well as boom-and-bust economic cycles, with appearances by presidential candidate and famed orator William Jennings Bryan and President Chester Arthur. Composer Douglas Moore's and librettist John Latouche's opera has been performed across America, including its West Coast premiere in 1957 at Stanford's brand-new Dinkelspiel Auditorium. Features guest artist Eugene Brancoveanu.
