Map of the seventeen core-based statistical areas in Colorado

The U.S. state of Colorado has twenty-one statistical areas that have been delineated by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Statistical areas are important geographic delineations of population clusters used by the OMB, the United States Census Bureau, planning organizations, and federal, state, and local government entities. On March 6, 2020, the OMB delineated four combined statistical areas, seven metropolitan statistical areas, and ten micropolitan statistical areas in Colorado (map pictured). The most populous of these statistical areas is the Denver–Aurora, CO Combined Statistical Area, with a population of 3,623,560 at the 2020 census. (Full list...)

Werther

Werther is an opera in four acts by Jules Massenet to a French libretto by Édouard Blau, Paul Milliet and Georges Hartmann. It is loosely based on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's epistolary novel The Sorrows of Young Werther, which was based both on fact and on Goethe's own early life. This poster, designed by the Swiss artist Eugène Grasset, advertised the opera's first performance in France, which was given by the Opéra-Comique at the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris on 16 January 1893.
