Let's meet newlyweds Marjorie and Tom Sturgon
with the of a new Theater Grand Opening
“THE NEW THEATER WILL BE TRANSFORMATIONAL FOR OUR ARTISTS AND AUDIENCES”
— NANCY J. PREIS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Opera in the Ozarks Announces the 2025 Summer Season
Opera in the Ozarks, the storied summer music festival and prominent opera training program based in Eureka Springs, will celebrate its 75th anniversary year, and the grand opening of its highly anticipated new theater as it kicks off its 2025 Summer Season in June — featuring dozens of exciting opera performances and other special musical events at venues across the Northwest Arkansas region.
The 2025 season begins on Friday, June 27, and continues through Friday, July 25, at Opera in the Ozarks’ mountainside venue, Inspiration Point Center for the Arts, located at 16311 Hwy. 62 West, overlooking Beaver Lake just five miles west of historic Eureka Springs.
Executive director Nancy Preis said the differences between the new theater and the old theater are astronomical.
“We have beautiful, comfortable seats — no more bringing a cushion,” Preis said. “The lobby speaks for itself. It’s a spectacular view. When the sun sets, it’s gorgeous.”
Preis continued, “Not only is the lobby air-conditioned and has plenty of space, but the concession stand will be inside. No more digging around icy coolers of water. We have refrigerators and indoor bathrooms.”
The new state-of-the-art 300-seat theater, made possible by a generous $34 million grant from the Walton Family Foundation, preserves the intimate experience Opera in the Ozarks is known for while enhancing audience comfort and production capabilities. Alongside the theater, the newly completed facilities also include an expanded rehearsal hall, production shops, practice rooms, and faculty housing — ensuring that the program continues to attract and nurture the next generation of opera singers and musicians. Project vendors included Crossland Construction, general contractor; Polk Stanley Wilcox, architect; Schuler Shook, theater design; and Jaffe Holden, acoustic design.
“This theater has amenities people expect in a theater,” Preis said. “We’ve got it all, plus a spectacular view they don’t expect.” Preis has worked at Opera in the Ozarks for 11 years. When she started, it was an eight-week summer job. Now, it’s a “52-week, year-round scramble.”
“We’ve grown in terms of the amount of stuff we’re doing, but we’re still doing it all with a minuscule staff,” Preis said.
One example of that growth is how the new theater will be used. Since it is available year-round, Preis said, something will always be happening there.
“We’re not going to bring in Broadway tours. It’s much too small for that,” Preis said. “Our goal is to have a mix of things we produce ourselves and things we rent the theater for. We just booked out first wedding for the fall.”
Preis thanked the Walton Family Foundation for making the theater possible.
“We’d still be talking about it if they hadn’t invested,” she said. “But I don’t want to overlook the fact that there’s 75 years of people who supported this organization, who believed in it, who gave according to their means. There’s a ton of people who have given $25 a year. It’s the people that have been there for 75 years that made this possible.”
Season Announcement Continued . . .
Before the season launch in late-June, Opera in the Ozarks officially marked the grand opening of its new theater with a Gala Celebration on Saturday, May 31. This milestone event coincided with the 75th anniversary of Opera in the Ozarks, marking a new era for the renowned opera training program leading into its Summer 2025 Season.
The gala featured an exclusive first look at the new theater, special performances by a dozen distinguished alumni including Latonia Moore, Leona Mitchell and Mark Delavan, and a celebratory reception honoring the program’s rich history and bright future.
The new season features a talented cast of approximately 40 singers along with professional instrumentalists from across the country.
“We have assembled a company of many wonderful singers from across the nation who will convene on our mountain this summer, and the always wonderful orchestra will be at full strength with 25-plus instrumentalists, ready to thrill you with their beautiful music-making,” Preis said. “Together they will take part in 21 fully staged and costumed opera performances, including three Sunday matinees.”
Preis encouraged everyone to come see the new theater and the performances that will take place there.
“For 75 years, Opera in the Ozarks has been a beacon for aspiring opera artists,” says Preis. “The opening of this new theater is a transformative moment for our organization, providing artists with a stage that reflects the caliber of their talents and offering audiences an immersive operatic experience like never before.”
“FOR
75 YEARS, OPERA IN THE OZARKS HAS BEEN A BEACON FOR ASPIRING OPERA ARTISTS”

June 27, July 2, 6, 11, 14, 19, 25

July 1, 5, 8, 12, 15, 20, 24
ABOUT THE SEASON’S MAINSTAGE OPERAS:
Carmen is an opera in four acts by the French composer Georges Bizet, who died suddenly after the 33rd performance in 1875, unaware that the work would achieve international acclaim within the following decade. Carmen has since become one of the most popular and frequently performed operas in the classical canon. Entranced by Carmen’s passionate song of freedom and her seductive dancing, the soldier Don José descends into a dangerous spiral of desire, jealousy, and obsession. Matadors bump shoulders with factory workers to the sound of Spanish rhythms and castanets in the heat of Seville. Carmen’s seductive “Habanera” and “Seguidilla,” Don José’s “Flower Song,” Escamillo’s “Toreador Song,” and Micaëla’s prayer for courage are some of the most recognizable moments in opera.
Into the Woods by Stephen Sondheim begs the question: “What would you do to make your wishes come true?” Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (of beanstalk fame), and a baker and his wife find out when they take a journey into the woods. It’s a magical, bewildering place full of witches, wolves, giants and mysterious strangers, where familiar fairy tales get tangled up together. Wishes come true here, but at a price. Even storybook characters must face the music — of which there is plenty. Be careful what you wish for.
The Merry Widow by Franz Lehár is a stream of memorable melodies revolving around the relationship between the wealthy young widow Hanna and the dissolute bachelor Danilo. Keeping the widow’s money in the country is the goal of a bunch of bumbling government officials. The widow’s quest for love unfolds amidst mishaps, intrigue, and comedic misadventure.
FREE FAMILY DAY
SUNDAY, JUNE 29 will feature guided tours of the new theater between 2 - 4:15 p.m., and a 3 p.m. talk by Arkansas Democrat-Gazette columnist Rex Nelson about the state of the arts in Arkansas.
Beyond the 21 MainStage performances in Eureka Springs, the 2025 Summer Season will also feature more than a dozen performances of The Bremen Town Musicians, by John Davies, at locations throughout Northwest Arkansas, including area libraries and community centers.
Featuring Opera in the Ozarks’ Studio Artists, these outreach performances are free of charge. In addition, the singers will visit area schools, senior communities and community centers with a program that celebrates the unamplified human voice.
Audiences will also enjoy the always exciting Chamber Music concert on July 21 at Inspiration Point, and not one, but two Broadway Cabarets. One cabaret will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 17, at The Medium in Springdale and will include heavy hors d’oeuvres, and the other will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 22, at Inspiration Point and will include a buffet dinner (both cabaret venues will have cash bars). These cabaret performances will feature a variety of popular songs from Broadway shows, performed by members of the Opera in the Ozarks company.

Journey RodneyChefSlane the of
Discovering His Passion through Flavor
In the world of culinary arts, finding one's passion can be a journey filled with exploration, self-discovery and a sprinkle of serendipity. For Chef Rodney Slane, this journey took him through the winding roads of never-ending travel and cooking, ultimately leading him to Eureka Springs in 2010.
A Cordon Bleu culinary-trained chef, Rodney brought a wealth of knowledge and skill to his culinary endeavors. Rodney's culinary adventure began as he sought to help his family with their overnight business in Eureka Springs.
With a deeprooted love for cooking over wood and a philosophy of using minimal seasonings, he envisioned a dining experience that celebrated the natural flavors of ingredients. This vision gave birth to Grotto Wood Fired Grill, a restaurant that would redefine fine dining by emphasizing the purity of taste rather than relying heavily on spices.
Eureka Springs, with its rich history and vibrant community, provided the perfect backdrop for Rodney's dreams. He fell in love with a historic building that echoed the town's charm and artistic spirit. When he fell in love with his old high school sweetheart Autumn Spencer Slane, she moved to live in Eureka Springs.
continues to crank out exceptional dishes that reflect his journey and dedication. His commitment to excellence has made Grotto a beloved establishment in the community.
But Rodney’s culinary journey didn’t stop with Grotto. His love for cooking over wood inspired him to take his passion to new heights by launching Sauced BBQ in 2018. Aiming to elevate the art of smoking meat, he embraced the challenge of mastering this intricate technique.
Many believe smoking meat is simple, but Rodney knows it demands talent, patience and a deep understanding of flavors. As if that wasn’t enough, Chef Rodney expanded his culinary repertoire with the introduction of Slane Tavern 2019 , a cozy Irish bar that evokes the charm of a speakeasy in Slane, Ireland. Its book-lined walls and low-lit ambiance create a unique atmosphere where patrons can unwind and enjoy crafted cocktails and comforting fare.
After a year filled with hard work, determination and an undeniable passion for his craft, they opened Grotto Wood Fired Grill in 2015. Like any new business, Rodney faced the uncertainties that come with entrepreneurship.
Would the locals embrace his vision? Could he pay the rent? And, most importantly, would the food resonate with diners?
Fast forward 10 years, and Grotto has not only survived but thrived. With many gray hairs earned along the way, Rodney
Rodney and Autumn then took another adventure and added a new Slane to the family, a little boy named Spencer Slane born Sept. 4, 2022.
“What wonderful experience,” Rodney said.
Not long after, they had the opportunity to take over a local breakfast and lunch café, The Filling Station. Rodney’s love for this establishment, coupled with his desire to preserve its essence, ensured that it remained a cherished part of the community.
Through passion, perseverance and a commitment to his craft, Chef Rodney Slane has not only carved out a successful culinary career but has also enriched the fabric of Eureka Springs. His journey is a testament to the power of following one's passion, embracing challenges and creating something truly special for the
