"Why not make this lovely old theatre live again as a theatre of dreams?"
- Robert Edmond Jones 1932

The Central City Opera House is truly a "theatre of dreams." Constructed in 1878, it embodied the aspirations of the Welsh and Cornish miners who built it. In 1932, art lovers launched a summer festival that continues today with vibrant opera productions in a mountain setting. In the intimate 550-seat opera house, audiences experience each exquisite performance in this charming historic building.

In 2002, Central City Opera presents a season worthy of its 70th anniversary. Opera lovers will enjoy Georges Bizet's "Carmen," Benjamin Britten's enchanting "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and American composer Lee Hoiby's sultry "Summer and Smoke." Since most operas are sell outs, be sure to put this special anniversary season of opera on your calendar.
