The Nevada Opera is a nationally recognized group that consistently delivers accomplished performances of classics, and creates some of its own in the form of themed engagements and special nights like Opera in Blue Jeans held at the local Wingfield Park during the summer months. There's also the very popular Juke Box Opera fund raiser that lets you choose the music the opera will interpret. And, of course, there are the touchstone works like The Marriage of Figaro and Trial By Jury that keep opera newcomers and veterans equally satisfied.
The Wilbur D. May Center was named after a man who was a Nevada rancher, businessman and philanthropist.

Attractions at the center include traveling exhibits, an arboretum, courtyards and other features. The Wilbur D. May Center is a great choice for both learning about the area and emphasizing the importance and benefits of family fun.
