For a state that is better known for its rodeo than opera, this local opera company lives up to its classical roots. Whether performing Mozart, Puccini or local composers, the performances always include both local and international talent. The Boise Philharmonic Orchestra accompanies the Opera, making the performances talent-packed events. The Opera Idaho Children's Chorus also perform, often at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival's outdoor amphitheater. Tickets range in price from $10-$20 with student and senior discounts available.
