Mike Bullard of Inland Northwest Opera

Last week we were talking indie music. This week we’re talking opera. Our guest is Mike Bullard, president of Inland Northwest Opera.

INO is gearing up for its first main-stage production, Johann Strauss’ Die Fledermaus, after a bumpy couple of years. Their last main-stage production was Verdi’s La Traviata in 2022.

Mike explains how the group re-found its footing, why this comic operetta is ideal for their return, and the world-class performers who are involved in it.

Die Fledermaus performances are on September 11 and 13 in North Idaho College’s Schuler Auditorium.
