If your travels take you to northern Utah, then experiencing the Great Salt Lake is a must-see. The scenic interplay of the lake's pristine water reflecting the sky's colorful displays is something that everyone should witness for themselves. With outdoor areas for camping as well as a large number of nature trails and walking paths, this natural jewel should be an essential part of any trip to the area.

Founded in 1847 when the Mormon pioneers entered the Salt Lake Valley, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir has a rich history of performance and tradition among their spectacular voices. The choir is sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and has the distinction of producing the history in another way, as its Music and the Spoken Word program is the longest-running continuous radio network broadcast in the world.

The theatrical cache of these seasoned performers coupled with their stellar musical abilities work together to convey an unforgettable electricity that ignites the tradition of the opera. The Utah Opera produces several performances each season, and every one of these works underscores the many talents of these gifted singers, actors and musicians. So instead of settling for the usual entertainment, revisit the tradition of the opera.
