Tours and Special Events   

At age 15, Golda Meir ran away from her Milwaukee home to live with her older sister in Denver. She graduated from Denver North High School, and later wrote, “It was in Denver that my real education began.” Golda’s home sits amid fourteen late 19th- to early 20th Century homes and two churches constituting the Auraria Campus 9th Street Historic District. After touring Golda’s home, we will take a self-guided walking tour of the district.

Parking instructions with discounted rates will be emailed to registrants before the event. Event site is a short walk from the Colfax at Auraria rail stop on RTD.

Go on a 1 hour guided tour of NCAR where you will hear about weather forecasting, atmospheric research, climate science and research. There is a cafeteria where you can bring a lunch and eat at following the tour or many restaurants nearby. There are also trails you are welcome to go on. The outdoor trails are not included in the guided tour.

The 1.5 hour tour includes stops at the Space Weather Prediction Center, the Earth System Research Lab Global Monitoring division for information on the carbon dioxide record and the National Weather Service Forecast office.

Attending a dress rehearsal is a unique opportunity to watch the creative process of an opera company at work before the public opening, with the performers in full costumes, wigs and make-up. Watch the conductor lead the orchestra and the performers through the entire opera, sometimes stopping to give instructions or corrections.

A shattering story of survival and strength, Madama Butterfly tells the story of Cio-Cio-San (Butterfly), a young geisha who marries an American Naval officer, Lt. Pinkerton, to uplift her family from an unfortunate past. A devastating opera, both musically and dramatically, Puccini’s eternal melodies tug at your heartstrings for Butterfly and her terrible fate.
