Reminiscence - Photography Exhibition by Dustin Keirns - Opening Reception

Teller House
Free to attend, RSVP preferred

Central City Opera is proud to present Reminiscence, a photography exhibition by Colorado photographer Dustin Keirns. A gallery opening reception will take place in advance of our opening night show of The Barber of Seville.

“Reminiscence is a story of our not-so-distant past. It is a story of Colorado, of the people who settled here in prospect for riches and a mining boom that drastically shaped the social and economic landscape of the state. It speaks of a time that was fast and furious, and most of its mark faded back into the landscape almost as quickly as it rose out of it. A reminder of what it took to carve out an existence in these beautiful, but hard and deadly mountains.”

Featuring 17 framed works, Reminiscence captures the enduring presence of mining structures nestled within Colorado’s rugged landscape. The photographs speak to our state’s rich mining history and echos the enchanted beauty of the Teller House. These relics also stand as reminders of the importance of preserving the story of Colorado for future generations. The exhibition is on view through August 3rd. We invite all attendees of The Barber of Seville on June 28th and all interested community members to RSVP to the opening reception below.
