Our jewel-box theatre is a National Historic Landmark and one of the most unique and intimate venues anywhere—with the Rocky Mountains and historic Central City as an unforgettable backdrop.
The 2013 Festival offers the best of both worlds: two first-rate productions in the Central City Opera House, followed by Show Boat at the Denver Center for Performing Arts, featuring the same level of high caliber international artists, directors and designers you see each year in Central City.
