In-Depth Information
architecture has been a working theater since it first opened - with the exception of the 30
or so years during which things were interrupted by fire, depression and reconstruction.
Part of Aspen's postwar revival, it still presents opera, films, concerts and musicals. Dur-
ing summer the Aspen Music Festival holds concerts here.

The only movie house in Aspen proper plays first-run Hollywood fare, but thankfully
spices up the blockbusters with an occasional pinch of art-house and foreign cinema. This
is Aspen, after all.
Shopping
Aspen is for the professional shopper. Part Malibu, part Rodeo Dr, part Champs-Élysées,
this is Colorado's only luxury brand haute-couture strip. Everything from high-end hood-
ies to pro-grade outdoor gear to designer bling is available. That said, you won't find
many local boutiques here. If Louis Vuitton's not your thing, head down valley to Basalt
or Carbondale.
Little Bird

; 525 E Cooper Ave; 10am-6pm Mon-Sat, noon-5pm Sun)
This
gem of a consignment store has new and vintage luxury designer scarves, dresses, hand-
bags, shoes and more. Gucci, Jimmy Choo, Blahnik - all the handsome boys are here. You
can bargain too, and if staff have had the gear for more than 30 days, you may strike a
deal. But it still won't be cheap. You are in Aspen, after all.
