Red, White & Tahoe Blue: A Salute to America
Tahoe Symphony Orchestra helps you celebrate the Fourth of July with family and friends, close to home! Our annual “BOPS” concert, conducted by Maestro James Rawie, is a delightful summer event that we perform in two venues at the Lake, in Truckee & Reno. Revel in full orchestra and chorus performances of patriotic favorites, be swept off your feet by great opera arias, join in a sing-along, and, if you’re the highest bidder, you’ll conduct the orchestra in “The Stars and Stripes Forever”!
Get the most bang for your ticket buck with this concert that truly has something for everyone, and brings the music practically to your door. Show your true patriotic colors with an armed forces medley (audience members from all branches of the services are honored), orchestra-chorus versions of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” and “God Bless America,” an audience sing-along of “America the Beautiful”, and, of course, “The Stars and Stripes Forever” (will you be the conductor?).
Anyone who enjoys beautiful singing will love the duets and solos by our gifted operatic soloists Robert Bousquet, Mari Stoner, Annie Davidson, Amanda Price, Chris Nelson and Erik Linnell. Our delightful sampler includes Broadway, Opera and Patriotic favorites. The tutti finale is a toast to wine and good living with Verdi’s Brindis from La Traviata.
Grass lawn seating (general admission) at Bartley Ranch is free, and is sponsored by Artown.
