SEASON
OPERA
IDAHO
PRODUCING OPERA IN IDAHO FOR 51 YEARS!

Consider This Your
Rx for Art
Nothing can change your mood, mind or outlook
like great performance art.
Enjoy the show and remember: We’re here when
you need us.

Leslie
Garrett
Board President
Welcome to the opera!
Our 2023-2024 season opened with
our 3rd annual Opera in the Park
concert in July at the Gene Harris
Bandshell in Julia Davis Park. This
FREE outdoor concert featured
world-class soloists, the Opera Idaho
Chorus and a live orchestra, under the
baton of our principal conductor Andy
Anderson. Over 2,500 Idahoans came
to enjoy two hours of free music.
The first mainstage opera will be
The Marriage of Figaro at The
Egyptian Theatre in October. Stage
director Robert Neu and conductor
Carmine Aufiero, the incredible duo
responsible for making you laugh in
last year’s production of The Barber
of Seville, return to give life to a
hilarious tale of mistaken identities
and romantic entanglements.
Next, in November, will be The Falling
and the Rising; a story of family,
service, and the sacrifices made by
our military forces. This production
will take place at Kane Auditorium
located in the Idaho Air National
Guard base at Gowen Field.
Opera Idaho’s Artistic Advisor and
soprano Cecilia Violetta López returns
to The Morrison Center in February
2024 to give life to one of the two
young lovers from feuding families in
Roméo et Juliette. Principal Conductor
Andy Anderson returns for this opera
based on Shakespeare’s timeless tale.
Closing the season in April is Cruzar
la Cara de la Luna (To Cross the Face
of the Moon), a bilingual mariachi
opera that explores the immigrant
experience. It will open at The
Egyptian Theatre and close at Jewett
Auditorium in Caldwell in hopes
to engage more of our Hispanic
community.
Want to try something different?
Come to an Operatini at the Sapphire
Room or to Opera in the Park next
summer.
I encourage you to meet the new
class of Emerging Artists. You can
read their bios on starting on page 23.
These four singers were chosen from
over 200 applicants for the coveted
positions in our Emerging Artists
Program. Opera Idaho offers them
many singing opportunities to build
their résumés along with coaching,
housing, and a stipend for eight
months. And in return, their work lifts
Opera Idaho!
Consider supporting Opera Idaho with
your time or with housing for visiting
singers. These gifts are an important
part of our business as an opera
company.
We will miss Mark Junkert, our
general director for 15 years, who has
retired and moved to Philadelphia.
But he is helping us through the
interim with some of his time from
afar. As president of the board, I am
working closely with Mark to assure
that things run smoothly while
we continue our executive search.
With a dedicated board, staff, and
supporters, Opera Idaho continues to
be strong and to look forward to many
exciting seasons to come.
While this is our 51st season, we’re
not finished celebrating the 50th!
Many special events are planned for
November culminating on the actual
50th anniversary on November 30th.
So there’s still time for you to join
us in celebrating our history. See the
next page for a letter from one of our
founders, Mrs. Esther Simplot.
There is still time to double the impact
of your support by making a special
gift to Opera Idaho for the 50th,
thanks to a new matching challenge
from long-time supporters Jo-Anne
and Jeff Smith. Just mark your gift
as “for the 50th anniversary” and it
will be matched. What a great way to
carry us into the future!

Esther
Simplot
Opera
Idaho
2023-2024 SEASON
Do you remember when you fell in
love with opera and those magnificent
voices? I do. I was fourteen and doing
the Saturday cleaning of our old
farmhouse with my sister, Marion. We
had a huge standing radio which was
blaring something awful, so I started
turning the dial. I stopped when I
heard “This is the Metropolitan Opera
Company presented by Texaco”.
These gorgeous voices poured out of
the speaker just overwhelming me.
From that Saturday on, at 2:00 p.m.
whenever I was able, there I was
soaking it all in.
Opera Idaho is completing its 50th
Anniversary. Most of you know
this as you have been attending
performances and giving generously
to our programs. Thank you. In 1972
I was newly married and had just
discovered there were opera singers
in Boise. That’s when it began, each
year a struggle but a triumph as well,
as we continued to present beautiful
operas and singers to the public.
Under the direction of Mark Junkert,
the last 15 years has seen tremendous
growth in our presentations and
our fundraisers. He managed to do
something that I had wanted one of
our organizations at the Academy
to accomplish . . . a free concert at
the bandshell in Julia Davis Park. For
three years now, the attendance has
continued to grow. It has developed
many friends who may not be able to
attend our annual performances. One
of my dreams has come true.
After he retired, my husband Jack
would say his job was to envision the
future of his company. Following in his
footsteps, I hope to do the same for
our Academy companies. The dreams
will be BIG dreams because, with the
support we have in Idaho, they could
come true.
Let’s begin our next 50 years with
“Great Expectations.”
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.

Emerging Artists Program
2023-2024 SEASON
Opera Idaho established its Young
Artists program in the 2017-2018
season. In 2020, the program was
renamed to Emerging Artists. The
program is designed to provide
training and performance experience
for talented singers at the beginning
of their professional careers.
From September 2023 through April
2024, the Emerging Artists will be
placed in a nurturing environment,
treated as professionals, and provided
with compensation and a comfortable
place to live. They will also tour the
Treasure Valley and surrounding
areas with an abridged version of
The Pirates of Penzance, introducing
students in grades K through 6 to
opera. In addition, they will fill smaller
roles in our mainstage operas, serve
as understudies for the lead roles, and
participate in smaller performances
throughout the season.
Meet the 2023-24
Emerging Artists

Volunteering
Opera Idaho would not be able to do
everything it accomplishes without
the help of people in the community
willing to donate their time to help
with everything from making phone
calls, data entry, to ushering for many
of our productions.
Become a Volunteer
Volunteers are a valued and integral
part of Opera Idaho. They play a vital
role by helping our artists, supporting
productions, reducing costs and
providing skilled assistance in virtually
every department. Their hard work
and generosity keeps the beauty and
passion of opera alive.
Volunteers of the Year
Once a year the staff chooses a
volunteer, sometimes two or more,
who go above and beyond to help
wherever needed, and recognize
them for their service.
