Honoring Nancy Parker for her dedicated support of Central City Opera
Revel with Central City Opera at the 2023 Theatre of Dreams Gala on Friday, April 21! Intrigue and romance of Shakespearean proportion will accompany a refreshing cocktail hour, gourmet dinner, and delightful entertainment from the cast of this year’s festival production of Kiss Me, Kate.
We are honored to celebrate Nancy S. Parker and her 40-plus years of devotion to Central City Opera’s artistic excellence. Ms. Parker has served on the Board of Directors since 1980 and has been a philanthropic force in the performing arts world throughout Colorado. Thank you, Nancy!

Taking the stage with a sparkling medley of songs, 2023 Summer Festival and Kiss Me, Kate star Emily Brockway is joined by Alex DeSocio and Jennifer DeDominici for a sophisticated, romantic and delightfully hilarious performance based on Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. The night is rounded out a live auction hosted by “Fundaneer,” Rylie Behr.
