The Performing Arts Program is committed to bringing a wide variety of acts to the Steddy Theater in an array of genres, ages, and backgrounds. Following the incorporation of the Crested Butte Music Festival into the Center for the Arts in 2023, the Performing Arts Program will have additional emphasis on classical, world, jazz, and opera music in 2024.
2024 summer classics event lineup
8 | 3 Cosí fan tutte (the performance on 8 | 4 has been canceled)
Mozart’s Così fan tutte is one of the most dramatic soap operas written in the 1700s. Translated as “Women are like that,” even the title hints at the capricious, tongue-and-cheek plot of this classic.
8 | 10 Midsummer Masterworks
Featuring large works for orchestra and chorus, Midsummer Masterworks brings almost 75 musicians from all over the country together to perform high-quality classical favorites in Crested Butte.
