Sounds excellent! Since I generally do not like people, being in the
middle of nowhere, with a dog or two sounds like heaven! Sadly it is not
going to fly with the wife since she wants culture, opera and all that
stuff. So I imagine that sadly, in the end, it would have to be 2-3 hours
by car from some kind of bigger city. =(
You will not find European-grade opera in many places in the US. (I will
say surprisingly good things about here in Williamsburg, VA). Hmm... but
if you're looking for isolationist politics, quiet rural areas, and
proximity to a good opera company you could consider New Mexico. Also
very dry, but you can wear a cowboy hat and carry a pistol and still go
to the Santa Fe Opera which is really pretty amazingly good.
Maybe Central City Colorado too? Colorado is another oddly divided state.
You might like Alaska in that Alaska is filled with people who have an
intense interest in personal independence. Unfortunately it is also
filled with people who have problems who had thought that if they could
just get to Alaska that everything would be fine, and so they brought
their problems with them to Alaska.

Alaska is on my list! I did find anchorageopera.org so maybe that could
work! ;)
You could do worse. But they aren't the Met or the KO, let alone La Scala.
