I think we Denverites are extremely lucky to have the quality of cultural offerings that this city offers. We are a cow town no longer!
I recently attended a performance of the Colorado Symphony and was blown away. First of all, the acoustics at the DCPA are such where you can hear a pin drop from the last row. That intensified my listening pleasure to no end. The performance itself was flawless, with a variety of pieces to suit every taste. Accompanying nearly every piece was a fascinating explanation of it's history and nuances, provided by the conductor to everyone's delight. And the soloist--just a young girl--was superb!
Plus, the symphony and the theater seem to be the one place where people actually get out of their jeans and dress up for the night!
