  • 'Baby' Tabor - 'The Ballad of Baby Doe' - Includes Related Information
    This cloud had a silver lining: the Washington Opera has revived the improbable story of Horace and 'Baby' Tabor - 'The Ballad of Baby Doe' - includes related information Insight on the News, Feb 10, 1997 by T.L. Ponick No matter how hard he tried, luck always seemed to elude Horace Tabor, the central figure in a celebrated mining-town rags-to-riches saga. From before the Civil War to the boom times of the 1870s, Tabor prospected for gold and silver in the craggy mountains of Western Colorado without much to show for it. When, suddenly, he hit pay dirt, he became the biggest man in Leadville and one of the richest in Colorado. Tabor built an opera house, cast off his dour-looking wife, hitched himself to a colorful woman of dubious virtue named "Baby" Doe and spent money as of he owned the Denver mint -- only to die penniless at century's end, a victim of the nation's abandonment of freely coined silver, leaving his flamboyant wife in rags. Authentic legends of the West, Horace and Baby Doe Tabor and their times were brought to the stage in July 1956 by composer Douglas Moore and librettist John Latouche for the Central City Opera of Denver. The Ballad of Baby Doe was revised for its New York City Opera premiere in 1958, with Beverly Sirs starring in the difficult coloratura role of Baby. In January, the Washington Opera unveiled its production featuring soprano Elisabeth Comeaux and baritone Richard Stilwell, a Metropolitan Opera veteran, as the Tabors, with mezzo Phyllis Pancella as the spurned wife Augusta.

  • 1 Baby Doe Tabor Is a Timeless Figure in Colorado History
    Baby Doe Tabor: Colorado’s Legend “When Baby Doe first saw the mountains, she had an inexplicable feeling that her destiny was bound up in those distant granite fortresses.” 1 Baby Doe Tabor is a timeless figure in Colorado history. Her story has been committed to film, opera, and literature time and again. Although there are many parts that are the same in the various renditions of her story. There are three critical parts that are all perceived differently across time; her life in Central City prior to meeting Horace Tabor, her relationship and life with Horace, and her long and lonely vigil at the Matchless Mine in Leadville, Colorado after Horace’s death. These three are perceived differently largely based upon the fact that the authors craft their language so as to present the reader with different perspectives on the event. 1 Gordon Langley Hall, The Two Lives of Baby Doe (Philadelphia: Macrae Smith Co., 1962), 69. 1 Because of continual retelling Baby Doe’s story remains an integral part of Colorado’s history. What is it about her that makes her such an important and timeless figure? Why are authors and historians so fascinated with her? Her story begins simply enough. Elizabeth Bonduel Nellis McCourt was born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Her official birth date has never been agreed upon, as the official records were destroyed in a fire when she was a teenager. She was christened on October 7, 1854 when she was estimated to be about 12 days old.2 She first arrived in Colorado in 1877 on the arm of her new husband Harvey Doe; they settled themselves in Central City to work some mining claims belonging to Harvey Doe Senior.

AARP Colorado’s Staff and Volunteers are honored to be co-hosting this first-ever AARP Livable Communities Placemaking Workshop. With 14 current members of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities, AARP Colorado is excited to have the opportunity to showcase the innovative work of our many partners from throughout our great state. Denver is a dynamic city, the political, cultural, transportation and economic hub of the second-fastest growing state in the country. The outdoor lifestyle and re-location of many tech and Fortune 500 companies have fueled a cross-generational in-migration that presents both the myriad opportunities and challenges that come with such rapid change. The Westin Hotel is in the heart of LoDo (Lower Downtown), an area that was virtually vacant less than 30 years ago, until Major League Baseball and Coors Field ignited a revival in 1993. Now, within a short walking distance, you can visit historic Larimer Square, the Denver Performing Arts Complex, and the Wynkoop (Colorado’s first micro-brewery, which was founded by a then out-of-work geologist named John Hickenlooper). There’s also the remodeled Union Station that has become the social and economic hub of Downtown since the opening of FasTracks, our new regional train system. If you are staying an extra day, consider visiting the Red Rocks Amphitheater, universally regarded as the world’s greatest outdoor concert venue and a “bucket-list” visit for people from around the world.

  • Matchless Mine, CO
    Matchless Mine, CO September 12 - 24, 2017 PROJECT PARTNER: National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum PROJECT SITE DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY: The Matchless Mine, located in Leadville, Colorado, is one of the most famous sites in the country linked to the history of the old West – but not because of its silver or gold. The Matchless Claim was rst recorded by prospectors in May of 1878. It was eventually purchased by its most famous owner, Horace Tabor (then Lieutenant Governor of Colorado), in 1879-80 after silver was struck at a mine nearby, it proved lucrative for Tabor, and by 1884, according to the Leadville Chronicle as quoted by the National Mining Hall of Fame, “nine-tenths of the high grade ore in Fryer Hill had been mined,” eventually forcing Tabor to mortgage all of his Denver real estate assets. He died in 1899, almost completely penniless. Horace Tabor was not simply a rich miner, however. Born in 1830 into a poor family in Vermont, Tabor moved to Buckskin Joe, CO with his then-wife Augusta Pierce in 1859. He operated a mining supplies and general store there until the couple moved to Leadville prior to his purchasing of the mine. Perhaps the most famous character from this part of America’s history is Horace’s mistress-turned-wife “Baby Doe” (née McCourt), who lived in a cabin annexed to the mine until her death in 1935 when her frozen body was discovered on the wooden oor. Perhaps the most famous example of American opera from the rst half of the 20th century, The Ballad of Baby Doe, was composed by Douglas Moore and premiered in Central City, CO in 1956.

They have always been present but have either been relegated to passive roles in their own stories or actively considered societal outcasts. They were dramatically stereotyped as either airheads or witches, mothers or daughters, love interests or foes to be conquered. And, along with the character stereotypes came typically associated vocal stereotypes.
