"Let's Be Bold," a quarterly opportunity for local business women to network and tap into each other's knowledge and expertise.

Let's Be Bold is an informal, bring-your-own-lunch event where businesswomen get together to share experiences, ideas, failures and successes ... and to mentor, inspire, support and bring out the best in each other.

 Events begin with a "Mix & Mingle" from 11:45 to 12 noon, followed by a round of self-introductions, a guest speaker, discussion and some closing announcements ... with a goal of getting you out-the-door (and back to work) by 1! 

Whitefish Moose Lodge #642 will be hosting the next LBB on Wednesday May 10th. So plan to be there ... and be bold!

Smile of Hope – SIW in collaboration with local dentists rebuilds smiles for women
Grants Recipients – meet the non-profits we support.

Carmen, Bizet's passionately tragic masterpiece, is one of the most popular operas on the planet. Carmen is widely loved for its dramatic storyline, fine arias, duets and engaging choruses that center around a scandalous romance. Glacier Symphony is incredibly excited to present a concert version of Carmen, a historic opera that presents a tragic romance and strong, spirited leading female character of Carmen, who will be played by the soloist, Pascale Spinney. Glacier Symphony’s orchestra, chorale and multiple guest soloists will perform the wildly popular opera together to create a layered and vibrant musical representation of the story. 

However, the opera was not always very popular with audiences. In March of 1875, when French composer George Bizet first premiered Carmen at the Opéra-Comique in Paris, the elite Parisian audience at the time was taken aback by the leading femme fatale, on-stage fighting and dramatized murder. One scathing review after the Paris premiere states, “I won't mince words. Your Carmen is a flop, a disaster! It will never play more than twenty times!" – Jean Henri Dupin. Although the opera was too scandalous for France in the late 19th century, it was applauded in Vienna later that year, and its popularity soon spread to Brussels, London, Barcelona, New York, Saint Petersburg and more international cities over the immediately following years. More complimentary reviews resulted after the opera’s spread to new audiences, even Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky went to see Carmen and called it “a masterpiece in every sense of the word.” Ever since, audiences are fascinated by the melodrama, arias, duets, engaging choruses, scandalous romance and characters, making Carmen the most frequently performed opera across the globe. 

Our performance features a full cast of acclaimed opera singers, including Pascale Spinney, Andrew Surrena, Hanna Brammer, Alex Boyd, and Benjamin Sieverding, alongside Glacier Symphony Orchestra and Chorale. The opera will be sung in English, rather than the traditional French version, so many can enjoy this iconic opera and legendary story. Do not miss being a part of history as this opera continues to captivate audiences as it approaches its 150th anniversary!

About The Book: From the author of the #1 bestselling book, The Revenant, comes the story of the American West through the lens of the bison. Over the last three decades of the nineteenth century, 30 million buffalo were reduced to twelve. Into that maelstrom rode young George Bird Grinnell. A scientist, journalist, hunter and conservationist, Grinnell would lead the battle to save this species. Last Stand is the story of the death of the old West, and the birth of the conservation movement.
