On May 16, Opera Colorado broke new ground with a program at the Governor's Residence in Cheyenne, Wyoming, sponsored by Pinnacle Bank and Chris and Joy Dinsdale. More than 100 area residents -- some from as far away as Laramie -- were treated to a program of arias and ensemble by the Opera Colorado Young Artists, and enjoyed wine and hors d'oeuvres courtesy of Pinnacle Bank. This successful event was organized by Opera Colorado Board Member and Cheyenne resident Muffy Moore, along with others from the Cheyenne area arts community. Those present agreed that the event could serve as the inaugural meeting of a Wyoming opera-lovers association, and plans are underway for additional programs in area schools, at the civic center and in the colleges. In addition, some of the attendees will be organizing group trips to Denver to see Opera Colorado performances. Special thanks to Muffy and Pinnacle Bank for bringing Opera Colorado to Wyoming! To get involved with this Wyoming opera-lovers association, please contact Lori Siegling at 303.778.0389 or lsiegling@operacolorado.org.
Muffy Moore is a former board member of the Wyoming Arts Council.
