Valentine’s events heavy on love in 2018
About halfway through winter in Southwest Montana, the snow cover and chilly temps are likely here to stay. But there’s something else in the crisp February air: the warm fuzzies of love giving area residents all the feels. Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and several venues (and traveling gentlemen crooners) are set to play host to romantic events that’ll hope to thaw even the most stubborn hearts. Here’s a look at some of the fun in and around Bozeman.
Don’t just say “I Love You,” let the Chord Rustlers sing it! This Valentine’s season, the local barbershop quartet is again offering up its melodic voices and harmonies to the area in the form of Singing Valentines. Each arrangement will include an endearing serenade, long-stemmed rose, and Valentine card. Leave your sweetheart speechless for just $50! To schedule your singing Valentine for Wednesday, February 14th, call (406) 548-1391. Please note: the Chord Rustlers will travel to accommodate Valentines throughout the Gallatin Valley.

Intermountain Opera will present Bock, Masteroff and Harnick’s She Loves Me, February 9th–18th, at the beautifully restored Rialto theater. Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7:30pm, followed by Sunday matinees at 3pm. A special Thursday presentation is set for Feb. 15th at 7:30pm. She Loves Me is a delightful romantic comedy that soars through the exhilarating and sometimes confusing anticipation of love. Sales clerks in a Hungarian parfumerie, Georg and Amalia spend their days quarreling with each other; yet unbeknownst to them, at night they write adoring love letters to each other as lonely hearts pen pals. How their discovery of each other unfolds is nothing short of endearing. Tickets range $25–$40 and are available at www.intermountainopera.org.
