Healing takes many forms,

from arias to EKGs.

Just as we work hard each day to heal the body, Opera

Idaho can heal the soul. Enjoy the restorative power of the

arts and remember: We’re here when you need us.


Mark

Junkert

General Director

When I was asked to interview for the

then-Executive Director position at

Opera Idaho, I’d never been to Boise,

in fact hardly Idaho at all, having

only passed through the northern

panhandle portion enroute to or

from Washington and Oregon. My

partner Cathy Ingle had never set foot

in Idaho until we moved here in May

2008. We knew little of the state’s

geography, history, and people. We

have come to cherish all these things

in what has been the best 14-plus

years of my career here. I’ll be retiring

after Opera in the Park in July 2023.

As Opera Idaho embarks on its 50th

season, as well as my 15th and last,

it’s a good time to reflect on history.

The 50-year history of first Boise Civic

Opera, then Boise Opera, and since

1999 Opera Idaho will unfold in five

articles over this and the beginning

of next season. One decade per

program, researched and written by

Ellie McKinnon.

In my time here, we can be proud

of additions to the offerings of

Opera Idaho: Opera in the Park,

the Emerging Artists program that

began in 2017, the expansion of the

Children’s Choruses program to now

four choirs, the incorporation of

Critical Mass Vocal Artists, Operatinis,

and art song recitals. I believe the

quality of our mainstage productions

has steadily improved. And we’ve

introduced many operas that had

never been performed in Idaho,

especially new American operas

like Dead Man Walking, A Streetcar

Named Desire, As One, Glory Denied,

and this season’s An American Dream.

Along with all that expansion and

improvement have come rising

budgets. We can now hold our

heads high in the company of opera

companies of similar budget size

in cities of similar size … Madison,

Dayton, Knoxville, and Des Moines,

to name a few. Board, patron,s and

staff have all supported, yea, been

instrumental in that growth. And

know that we appreciate how you’ve

all helped bring us through the

last two years of pandemic-related

uncertainty. (Which may or may not

be.) I can think back with gratitude for

all the relationships we’ve built. We

invited each other in and have cared

about and for each other as a result.

This season we invite you to join

us as we present our 50th season.

It’s already underway, with both

Opera in the Park and Celebrando a

México taking place before our first

mainstage production: the always

popular comedy The Barber of Seville

in Octobver 2022. Two operas new

to Idaho audiences, Verdi’s Macbeth

and Dvorak’s Rusalka, complete our

mainstage offerings. A new opera,

An American Dream, deals with

Japanese American internment during

World War 2, with direct plot ties to

Minidoka in Idaho. And in December

we collaborate again with Boise

Contemporary Theater to produce All

Is Calm, last season’s holiday hit.

What will the future bring? Our 50th

anniversary celebration in November

2023 will culminate on Nov. 30, 50

years to the date. It began with Weill’s

Street Scene. It was a new work, a

rather bold choice for 1973, having

premiered less than 30 years before

in 1946.

What I wish more than anything …

that Opera Idaho continues to step

boldly into the future. But for now,

and for the last time in this context, I

invite you to enjoy the music, the sets,

the costumes, the direction, all of it,

but also to accept the invitation to be

drawn into the world of Opera Idaho.

Greater depth is there for those who

desire it.

Opera

Idaho

The primary mission of Opera Idaho is to

fund and produce opera of the highest

possible professional standard, in Boise

and throughout the State of Idaho, and

to foster wider acceptance, appreciation

and enjoyment of opera and related

art forms in young people and adults of

all social and economic backgrounds,

through diverse educational and outreach

programs.

Leslie

Garrett

Board President

Board of Directors

As of October, 2022

2022-2023 SEASON

Welcome to the 50th season of Opera

Idaho!

This season has something to suit

all interests. It includes a classic

comedic opera The Barber of

Seville, an operatic interpretation of

Shakespeare’s Macbeth which will

incorporate video and projections, a

fairy tale Rusalka, and an American

opera about the Japanese internment

An American Dream. All this plus

performances in collaboration with

Boise Contemporary Theater of All

is Calm about the Christmas truce of

1914.

To celebrate our golden anniversary,

we have many exciting plans including

a history of each decade of Opera

Idaho which is an insert in this

program. Each of the four mainstage

operas will have an insert on a

different decade. Special activities will

continue into next fall with a month

of singing and end with a special

event on the anniversary of our first

production.

During this season, we will also honor

Mark Junkert who has been our

General Director for almost fifteen

years and has led the way to Opera

Idaho becoming recognized in our

state and our region as a high-quality

opera company. For his impressive

work, Mark received the 2020

Governor’s Award for Excellence in

Arts Administration. Thanks to Mark’s

efforts, along with strong support

from our patrons, Opera Idaho is

flourishing.

As we begin the celebration of our

50th, I try to imagine what it must

have been like back then … more

than twenty years before I came to

Boise. Boise must have been quite

the booming little city back in the

1970s. Although the population was

only 76,000 (can you believe it!), the

residents were clearly full of hope and

excitement about their future and the

performing arts. In addition to Opera

Idaho, the Boise Philharmonic, Ballet

Idaho, and Idaho Shakespeare Festival

were all formed during this decade.

As well as the founding of these

organizations, efforts began toward

building the Morrison Center. My

goodness, what a blast of energy!

As we move into our future, may

it be with that same energy and

excitement!

Bel Canto

Legacy Society

Bel Canto Society members have

included Opera Idaho in their estate

plans, ensuring Idaho can continue to

experience the beauty of opera long into

the future. Planned giving is simple. There

is no minimum commitment, and your gift

will live on benefiting future generations.

2022-2023 SEASON

Donald S. Hendrickson holds a very

special place in the hearts of the

Opera Idaho family and beyond. Don

served not only Opera Idaho in a

board capacity, but also on boards

of the College of Idaho, the Boise

Phil, FUNDSY, the Cathedral of the

Rockies and on advisory boards

of the Salvation Army and Ballet

Idaho. He and his wife Iris Trimble

Hendrickson have supported Opera

Idaho throughout their time here

in Boise, whether through personal

contributions, at fundraising events,

or sitting in the audience enjoying

classic operatic performances.

Don was born in Duluth, Minnesota

on April 24th, 1930. He attended

schools in Duluth and New Plymouth,

Idaho, and served in the US Army in

the 1950’s, stationed in Germany.

He earned a bachelor’s degree from

the College of Idaho and an MBA

from the University of Chicago. Don

worked for Amalgamated Sugar

Company before joining Boise

Cascade Corporation where his

career lasted 28 years and sent him

all over the country. In 1987 he was

one of the founders of BMC West

Corporation, a spin-off of part of the

Honoring the life

and legacy of

Donald S. Hendrickson

April 24, 1930 - March 12, 2022

Boise Cascade Building Materials

Distribution Division. He served as

President and CEO of BMC West until

he retired in 1998. He served on the

company’s Board of Directors until

2005.

Don and Iris were married in 1999,

and Iris still resides in Boise. Together

they were active members of the

Cathedral of the Rockies, the Arid

Club, and Hillcrest Country Club. They

loved to travel the world together,

visiting every continent at least once,

including all 50 states in the US. Don

and Iris’s support of the arts in Boise

leaves a legacy of love, music, and

generosity. Opera Idaho, the Boise

Phil, and Ballet Idaho have grown to

be successful organizations thanks in

part to people just like Don.

Upon his passing in March of 2022,

Opera Idaho learned of a gift he

left to help secure the future of this

organization. Thank you, Don, and

thank you to Iris and the family who

deeply knew and loved the man we

honor today. We will miss him this

season, and every season beyond. We

are honored and humbled that his

legacy is a part of Opera Idaho’s story.

May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Emerging Artists Program

2022-2023 SEASON

In the 2017-2018 season, Opera Idaho

established its Young Artists program.

Renamed to Emerging Artists in

2020. The Emerging Artists program

is designed to provide training and

performance experience for talented

singers at the beginning of their

professional careers. From September

2021 through April 2022, these

artists will be placed in a nurturing

environment, treated as professionals

and provided with compensation and

a comfortable place to live.

During the 2022-2023 Season our

Emerging Artists will be touring the

Treasure Valley and surrounding

areas with an abridged version of

The Barber of Seville, introducing

students in grades K through 12 to

opera. They will also be filling smaller

roles in our mainstage operas, serve

as understudies for the lead roles, and

participate in smaller performances

throughout the season.

Meet the

2022-2023

Volunteering

with everything from making phone

Volunteers are a valued and integral

part of Opera Idaho. They play a vital

role by helping our artists, supporting

productions, reducing costs and

who go above and beyond to help

wherever needed, and recognize

them for their service.

Education Engagement

School Tour

In an effort to introduce our younger

generations to the world of opera,

for the past few years Opera Idaho

has toured our local schools with a

program geared towards students in

grades K-6. This season, we will be

visiting elementary schools in The

Treasure Valley and beyond with an

abridged version of The Barber of

Seville.

The program is led by Kerry Calverley.

Kerry has been working with

children’s and youth choirs of all

levels for 30 years. Most recently,

Kerry was the director of choirs at

East Junior High School in the Boise

School District. In the Boise area, she

has been a children’s choir director at

Trinity Presbyterian Church and First

Presbyterian Church, also co-directing

musical theater productions for the

singers in these programs.

Opera Idaho

Opera Idaho has a van! This van will

allow us to visit more schools in more

locations throughout Idaho.
