CMC Breckenridge-Dillon Event Calendar

"Veronica" By Stephanie Mercado There will be an art exhibit opening, reception, and artist talk with be on October 13th, at the Old Masonic Hall in Breckenridge. The doors will open at 5:30pm with live music from Javier de los Santos and then an artist talk at 6:00pm. In January CMC Dillon is excited to be one of the community hosts of Stephanie Mercado's paintings about Latino workers in Summit County. Mercado was brought to Summit by Breck Create in the Fall of 2022 as an artist-in-residence. Since that time the artist has immersed herself in the local environment. Her exhibition takes viewers on a captivating exploration of the ecosystem of Summit County and celebrates the working-class communities that sustain its thriving economy.

Jake Heggie’s powerful work has its highly anticipated Met premiere in a new production by Ivo van Hove. Based on Sister Helen Prejean’s memoir about her fight for the soul of a condemned murderer, Dead Man Walking matches the high drama of its subject with Heggie’s poignant music and a libretto by Tony and Emmy Award–winner Terrence McNally. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium, with mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato starring as Sister Helen. The cast also features bass-baritone Ryan McKinny as the death-row inmate Joseph De Rocher, soprano Latonia Moore as Sister Rose, and mezzo-soprano Susan Graham—who sang Helen Prejean in the opera’s 2000 premiere—as De Rocher’s mother.
