DENVER, CO — October 10, 2013 — Fly By Red Rocks, a new temporary art exhibit, is now on display in Ansbacher Hall, which is the area leading to the A-Security Checkpoint on Level 6. Travelers are invited to view the artifacts that performers gave as gifts to Red Rocks Amphitheatre after shows. Some items include a vest from the 1964 Beatles concert, a Tony Hawk autographed skateboard and a Stevie Nicks autographed guitar.
“The Fly By Red Rocks exhibit at Denver International Airport allows our passengers a peek ‘backstage’ at one of our most beloved Colorado cultural facilities,” said Manager of Aviation Kim Day. “This exhibit’s memorabilia will help tourists and locals alike learn more about the history of this breathtaking concert venue.”
About Red Rocks Amphitheatre
The iconic and historic venue was founded in 1906 by John Brisben Walker Sr., who had a vision of artists performing on a stage nestled into the perfectly acoustic surroundings of Red Rocks. The inaugural show was performed in 1910 by an opera group called Ferrulo’s Band, who played on a temporary stage and said, “This was the best opera house in the nation.” Denver architect Burnham Hoyt designed the modern amphitheatre with an emphasis on preserving the natural beauty of the area. The plans were completed in 1936 and Red Rocks Amphitheatre was dedicated on June 15, 1941. The rest is sweet-sounding history. Holding true to its original claim, Red Rocks is still the No. 1 venue in the nation with accolades in 2013 from Rolling Stone Magazine as, “The Best Amphitheatre in the Nation” and winning Pollstar’s Top Venue award so many times that the publication eventually renamed the coveted award the “Red Rocks Award.” Holding close to 10,000 fans, Red Rocks is a popular attraction for tourists and concert goers alike. More than 1 million people visit every year and the amphitheatre hosts roughly 100 shows per year. While in Colorado we invite you to stop by and enjoy the sights and sounds that Red Rocks is known for. You will not be disappointed, we promise. www.redrocksonline.com
