Elkader Opera House

Our elegantly restored, historic 1903 theater provides a wonderful mix of community theater and professional performers. Performances bring patrons from a wide area. Our small community benefits greatly from all who attend. We also involved many of the area young people giving them another opportunity to experience the arts...from acting, to singing, to set building and interaction with adults who share their talents.
