The Colorado Opera Festival Guild was created in 1979 as a support
organization for the Colorado Opera Festival. Even when the Festival
closed its doors, the Guild continued to pursue its mission, adopting
a name change and broadening its support of other organizations an activities
that promoted opera in the Pikes Peak Region. The Guild's national award-winning
program, Opera Goes to School, became associated with Martile Rowland's
then fledgling Opera Theatre of the Rockies, and has flourished in area
schools, involving up to 90 teachers and over 1,000 high-school-aged
students each year in the opera experience. In 2003 the League voted
to become formally associated with Opera Theatre of the Rockies. As
an official member of the OTR operatic family, The Pikes Peak Opera
League provides major support for all of Opera Theatre of the Rockies'
efforts to create an opera-friendly environment for Colorado Springs
and surrounding communities.
