The wife and high took a break from losing money in the casinos to take a tour of the opera house and Tanner House. Lasted about 1 1/2 hours, great history lesson from the 1800's mining eras that started this whole town. Highly recommend.

You haven't seen anything until you have been to the Central City Opera. Acoustics are wonderful. The setting is amazing. It's an old historic theater in an old mining town in the foothill mountains. It sits over a river so in the old days they open the vents to cool the place with the air from the river. Historically all the famous people that made Colorado are listed on all the seats. Next door is the famous Teller house with the face on the barroom floor. The artist also painted in the basement of a house on 9th near the Botanic Gardens, the basement has portraits of all the famous people he practiced painting them on the walls of the basement.

This 550 seat 19th century opera house offers quality performances and a unique opportunity to see and hear them in a really intimate setting. My opera buff husband thought the musicians and singers in "The Barber of Seville" were impressive and marveled at how the performers managed so much well choreographed movement on a small stage. An opera here is a different experience than one performed by Opera Colorado and offers different pleasures, including the ability to see the performers' faces very clearly. The evening can please both opera enthusiasts and those with a more casual interest in opera. Pre-performance, enjoy a drink or light dinner at Kevin Teller's Rouge in the Teller House next door.

Central City is an old mining town in the mountains. The restored old opera house is charming and the opera productions are of very high quality. The American opera "Dead Man Walking" was very moving. The singers have wonderful voices and are fine actors. Mozart's "'The Marriage of Figaro" is more light hearted and also excellent.There is an art gallery across the street that is fun to visit. The drive from Boulder to Central City is beautiful and there are several restaurants on the way. We have also had a picnic in the garden next to the opera house.

We attended the dress rehearsal of Figaro and were amazed at the magnificent voices and set design. This is a MUST SEE this season. The chorus and principals created perfect vocal sounds that resonated throughout the historic opera house with great acoustics. The comedy plot, acting and orchestra will delight everyone. Food available nearby and enjoy the casinos while you are there.

I did a matinee, and what a treat! Loved the smallness of this Opera House...it made it so 'personal' and upclose. We saw Barber of Seville, which is a great 'beginner' opera. The production was superb. I loved being able to go out on the patio during intermission, such a beautiful area.I think any seat in the house would be good, so appeals to different pocketbooks!

this historic Opera House dates back to the gold rush days of Colorado's boom times. The area around the Opera House is quaint with Victorian homes, old shops, and many interesting historical sites. The rest of Central City is rather brash with its casinos and "not so good" eateries, but the Opera House and its adjoining Teller House Hotel are important parts of Colorado history and make for a very nice visit, with or without music. Summer music season is full of performances and workshops of all kinds, so be sure to check out the website! Don't be put off by "opera", it is a summer music joy. If you can see a full performance up there, the experience is amazing in the small acoustically sound Opera House; when the opera singers open up to full volume, hold onto your seats.. try it, I think you will like it on your way up I70 to many other mountain destinations.

The Central City Opera brought The Sound of Music to Denver at the Ellie Caulkin Theater. I really enjoyed it. The character of Maria was beautifully played. The children were WONDERFULLY cast. Beautifully done. My only issue with this play was the lack of chemistry between the Captain and Maria. The actor who played the Captain was flat. I understand that the character of the Captain was supposed to be stern in nature, but this was too much. There just was little emotional engagement between him and the other characters. I sound critical, but I really did love this play. It was a positive emotional experience and great entertainment.

This is the only part of Central City that is even recognizable from twenty years ago. In the name of gambling every shop and restaurant have disappeared both here and in Black Hawk. It is a real shame but if you want to gamble it's closer than Vegas.

Even if you don't gamble, a trip to Blackhawk/Central City is worthwhile. Great history, and the show here is top-notch.
