Great cities need great art—and Opera Colorado has brought world-class opera to Denver and beyond since our founding in 1981. In addition to our mainstage performances at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House each season, we affirm our commitment to the future of the art form by exploring in-person and digital initiatives outside of the opera house; annually presenting new works; with our nationally recognized Artist in Residence Program that trains the next generation of opera performers; and by each year reaching more than 45,000 students and adults through our statewide education and community programs.

Q DIRECTIONS TO THE ELLIE CAULKINS OPERA HOUSE

1385 Curtis St, Denver, CO 80204

The Ellie Caulkins Opera House is located in downtown Denver, at the Denver Performing Arts Complex on the corner of 14th and Curtis Streets.

Take I-25 towards downtown Denver. Exit Speer Boulevard South. Continue on Speer Boulevard and turn left on Arapahoe Street. 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.

Q PARKING AT THE ELLIE CAULKINS OPERA HOUSE

Garage parking is available in the Denver Performing Arts Complex and Colorado Convention Center garages. However, please note that both the DPAC and Convention Center frequently host several events a day, and the garages can fill up quickly—especially on weekends. Please plan to arrive early to secure parking! Or, consider alternate forms of transportation, including RTD Light Rail, Uber, or Lyft.

Q DIRECTIONS TO THE OPERA COLORADO OPERA CENTER

4121 S Navajo St, Ste 100, Englewood, CO 80110

Opera Colorado’s administrative offices and rehearsal studio are located within the Oxford Station Apartments complex in Englewood, on the southeast corner of South Santa Fe Drive and West Oxford Avenue. The entrance to the complex is on South Navajo Street.

The Opera Colorado Opera Center is also accessible via RTD Light Rail, and conveniently located across the street from the Oxford Station stop.

Q ACCESSIBLE SEATING

The Ellie Caulkins Opera House is accessible to persons with disabilities, and offers wheelchair-accessible seating and companion seats. Such tickets are available for online purchase, but our Patron Services team is always happy to assist with your order! To purchase by phone, please call 303.468.2030, Monday–Friday, 10 am–5 pm.

All other Opera Colorado events, regardless of location, offer wheelchair-accessible seating. Please call our Patron Services team at 303.468.2030 for any questions.

Q ACCESSIBLE PARKING

The Denver Performing Arts Complex Garage offers accessible parking on Levels 3, 4, and 5. The Ellie Caulkins Opera House entrance is located on Level 3. Please be aware that the DPAC often hosts several events a day, and parking can fill up quickly. However, you can ensure event parking by pre-purchasing your spot online.

If parking across the street at the Colorado Convention Center Garage, patrons should take the Z elevators on the Champa Street side to “Street Level.” Then cross Champa at the signal and follow the 13th Street sidewalk to the Denver Performing Arts Complex. The path is accessible and well-lit. From there, take the DPAC Garage elevators to Level 3 to reach the Ellie Caulkins Opera House entrance.

Q SUBTITLE SYSTEM

Each seat in the Ellie Caulkins Opera House is outfitted with an individual Figaro System, which offers subtitles of the performance in English or Spanish. Instructions for operating the titling system are included in the program book you’ll receive at the performance. (A synopsis of the opera is also printed in the program book.)

If you experience difficulty with the system, please contact an usher for assistance. A limited number of hand-held Figaro System devices are available at Coat Check in the lobby, for patrons who may have trouble viewing the installed subtitling systems at their seats.
