SUMMARY:"Music in American Life" Horace Tabor, Baby Doe, & Denver's Tabor Grand Opera House
DESCRIPTION:
 When Horace Tabor, a rough and uncultured stonemason 
 from Vermont, struck it rich in the silver 
 mines of Colorado, he decided to build a 
 magnificent opera house in Denver.  The opening 
 of the Tabor Grand in September 1881 changed 
 the cultural landscape of the city and state. 
  For the inaugural performance, Tabor invited 
 the Emma Abbott Opera Company, and for 
 the next nine years, the boards were trod by 
 the greats of theater and music.  Tabor's monument 
 to himself, however, was superseded by 
 a new theater in 1890.  And by the end of the 
 decade, having lost his fortune and his opera 
 house, Tabor was dead.  The verse which Tabor 
 had chosen to adorn his opera house curtain 
 was prophetic:\n
  \n
 So fleet the works of men,\n
 Back 
 to earth again;\n
 Ancient and holy things\n
 Fade 
 like a dream.\n\n
