Smuggler Mine

Free and open to the public
Registration required

Artist Matt Copson, with composer Oliver Leith, will present a multi-sensory installation within the caves of Aspen’s storied Smuggler Mine. Celebrated for his virtuosic laser animations, innovative theater works and his 2022 opera Last Days made also in collaboration with Leith, Copson will develop a site-specific, immersive environment that draws from the mine’s organic and built architectures to create a singular audiovisual world.

Join us from 12-4 PM as we invite small groups at a time to fully immerse themselves in this multi-sensory installation. With a free-flow, first-come-first-served entrance, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy the installation at your own pace. Secure your spot now!
