The Ellie is a world-class acoustical hall designed in the lyric style with four levels: balcony, loge, mezzanine and orchestra. With a rich and eventful history since opening in 1908, the Ellie has been renovated many times and most notably in the early 2000s when everything but its historic shell was rebuilt into a lyric opera house. Through seat tax revenues and bond proceeds, private donations and a generous gift from the Caulkins family, the venue reopened in 2005 as the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, honoring Denver's First Lady of Opera, Ellie Caulkins. There is not a reserved seating block.The Ellie Caulkins Opera House, known simply as “the Ellie,” is the premier venue inside of the historic Quigg Newton Denver Municipal Auditorium. Price: Tickets range from $16-$128 depending on your seat selection, which includes the 20 percent discount. Promo code: Please enter “CCTIGERS” to receive a 20 percent discount off your regular single ticket price. *There will be a post-performance discussion in the theater with David Mason ’78 and other members of the production that will be open to the entire audience. “The Scarlet Letter” looks at individuals who hold fast to their personal beliefs and secrets, to protect themselves and others how their mistaken actions result from fears of being judged and disliked and how people either make peace with their decisions, or live out lives of tortured conflict because of them. The story could easily be played out today: how individuals react to and survive severely repressive communities saturated with religious dogma.
Published in 1850, the work immediately caught the country's attention and has never lost its grip. Nathaniel Hawthorne's “The Scarlet Letter” is America's first great tragic novel. The performance is sung in English with English and Spanish subtitles at every seat. In celebration of new American Opera, join CC alumni, parents, and friends for the world premiere of “The Scarlet Letter” performed at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, with the libretto by alumnus and CC Professor of English, David Mason ’78.
