Past CSU Opera productions have ventured from classics like The Magic Flute (2018) to inventive cyberpunk stagings of Idomeneo, reflecting a willingness to experiment with design and technology. In 2025, CSU produced Incognito: Disguises, Deception, and Mistaken Identities as part of the Opera Scenes series (October 17–19, 2025, Runyan Rehearsal Hall / University Center for the Arts, Fort Collins). The company also joined with CSU Dance for Rat, An Opera (April 25, 2025), illustrating cross-disciplinary collaboration. For fans and prospective students alike, CSU Opera offers both performance opportunities and a robust education in operatic performance.
