About
The City Opera House in downtown Traverse City is a beautifully restored Victorian treasure, originally built in 1892. One of just seven historic opera houses still open in Michigan, it offers world-class performing arts series, arts education programs for youth, and hosts a vibrant mix of community events like weddings, proms, conferences, and the National Writers Series. With 680 seats, stunning Victorian charm, and exceptional acoustics, it’s a hub for cultural and social gatherings. Whether you’re catching a show or attending a private event, this “Grand Old Lady” is a true gem in northern Michigan.
