Classes Offered: 

Opera 101

"Backstage at the Opera" classes with extended bonus session
Prepare yourself for a deeper opera experience by attending Opera 101 – Backstage at the Opera. Rimrock Opera’s General Director, Douglas Nagel, leads the class through details of The Merry Widow story, insights to theatrical costuming and makeup, listening to CDs, meeting and hearing the artists, and a sneak preview at one of the theater dress rehearsals. A new feature is inaugurated with this series: a post-show class to share the completed opera experience. Fall sessions are Wednesday evenings September 1, 8, 15, from 7-9 PM, at Shiloh Methodist Church, 1810 Shiloh Rd., a fully staged preview at the Alberta Bair Theater on September 22, and the follow-up class on Sept. 29.

Spring Opera 101, built around Puccini’s Tosca, runs Wednesday evenings, April 6, 13, 20, with theater preview April 27 and bonus class May 4. Times and location are the same as fall session. Discussion and Q & A are a big part of class. Enrollment is limited and class sells out quickly. Call Rimrock Opera, 406-671-2214, for more information and enrollment.
