Dr. J. Raymond Tumbleson, retired Professor of Music at Southern Oregon University and a 41-year resident of Ashland, Oregon, passed away at his home in Woodstock, New York - surrounded by friends and family, on Tuesday June 29th at the age of 88.
A little bit of Die Fledermaus broke out near Lithia Park in Ashland after the 4th of July parade. It was the debut performance of RO's Opera in the Streetsprogram, funded by the City of Ashland. All of Ashland's a stage! There will be more events like this over the summer in Ashland, watch this space.
Celebrating 35 years of exceptional opera in the RogueValley!
The 2010-2011 Season marks the 35th year of Rogue Opera, committed to presenting high quality opera to regional audiences, training young performers, and directing its resources into the education and enrichment of our youth and community.
Rogue Opera was founded in 1976 by Dr. Ray Tumbleson, whose vision was to create a regional opera company that would utilize local talent to present high quality opera to regional audiences. Thirty five years later, that vision has been realized. With over 1,000 Opera in the Schools and main stage productions, Rogue Opera has become a treasure in the arts community.
We hope you will take advantage of our outstanding talent and support Rogue Opera this year. We have many great events planned. Thank you for your support in bringing us to our 35th year!
