Fresh air, a view of mountains in the distance and beautiful music.  What better way to spend time on a summer day?  Loveland Opera Theatre is thrilled to announce our upcoming summer concerts: “The Alps Meet the Rockies: A Summer Festspiele”.  A semi-staged concert, it will feature stars from our upcoming production of The Sound of Music as well as long time and new voices of Loveland Opera Theatre and Loveland Opera Ensemble singers.  As a nod to the tradition of classical music festivals in Germany and Austria, we will focus on music of German and Austrian origin.  We are excited to feature selections from The Magic Flute, The Merry Widow and Die Fledermaus as well as pieces showcasing the beauty of German Art Song tradition.  A sneak peak of our mainstage production will then close out our festspiele as we overlook our own Alpen-esque landscape.   
Dedicated to showcasing the talent of Colorado, Alps Meets the Rockies will feature wonderful Colorado singers including Liz Mirandi, Bella Mallow, Randy Parker, Kacie Kenton, Maureen Bailey, Rebecca Morris, and Lauren Bumgarner.  Their beautiful and powerful voices will be accompanied by pianist Rachel Carlson.   
On July 20, 2025, starting at 2:00pm, Loveland Opera Theatre has teamed up on our storytelling mission with Grimm Brothers Brewing/Taproom & Kitchen, 815 SW 14th St B100, Loveland. We will be performing our set indoors in their lovely Forge event space. Grimm Brothers will be offering drink specials on German and Austrian style beers and their kitchen will be serving German and Austrian dishes. We will be helping them kick off their 15th anniversary week so please join us in celebrating LOT and the Grimm Brothers collaboration in this festival experience! 
These concerts are FREE to the public and we encourage everyone to come, even if you aren’t sure you like opera.  From birds in love and an angry Queen to dancing Grisettes and love and mystery behind masks, there will truly be something for everyone.
