What a fantastic hidden gem! I rented the Chamber Grant Salon at the Opera House, and it was absolutely beautiful—the perfect setting for our reception party. We brought in The Killer Dueling Pianos for entertainment, and the atmosphere was just incredible. The service from the Opera House team was phenomenal, especially Keith Truitt, who was truly a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this venue for weddings, receptions, or any classy work event. It’s a stunning space with top-tier service all around!

This is such a gorgeous theater!! You will absolutely love it. It almost feels like stepping back in time when you enter the theater doors. The chandelier is breathtaking and so is the ceiling. Seats are very comfy. The sound quality is amazing. The staff is always so kind as well. We are frequent fliers! The ballet productions done here have been incredible. Highly recommend. Definitely purchase tickets early if you want good seats. The popular shows do sell tickets quickly. Going to this enchanting theater is also a great excuse to wear an evening gown/suit! Most people dress formal.
I took myself to see Casanova by the Colorado Ballet, as a treat. Upon arrival was a breeze - not only was there no wait, there were several hands on deck…the opera house was full. Whenever I needed assistance, questions were answered quickly, clearly and respectfully. The bathrooms are extremely clean. I didn’t purchase anything from the concession stand, but on the second floor, it is very easy to access. There are two sets of stairs when you exit, and an elevator. Signs are clearly written and spelled correctly. Furthermore, I enjoyed the show! I’m excited about visiting this opera house again,
Black swan show was just okay! Not worth the price! It was a bit below average. We left half show break. They could do better. The theater was beautiful
