The Stoughton Opera House provides excellent and varied entertainment in a unique and beautiful setting. The acoustics are superb and there isn't a bad seat in house. However, speaking of seats-the original hard wood seats are uncomfortable to say the least. You should bring a thick seat cushion, as a great many return visitors do. The shows are affordable, the atmosphere is casual and friendly. it's a great way to spend an evening.

The Stoughton Opera House is a charming, restored venue, upstairs from the Stoughton City Hall. It's a step back in time with lady ushers dressed in white blouses with lace collars and fresh flower corsages. Concerts lean towards folk and Americana. The atmosphere is intimate and acoustics are excellent. I've attended at least a half dozen shows in the past year and each was superb. One piece of advice... wooden seats are hard. Bring a seat cushion or borrow one at the box office by making a small donation to keep this jewel alive.

Lovingly restored, the Stoughton Opera house is an architectural and acoustic gem. Artists I have seen here (Ricky Skaggs, Nancy Griffith, Riders in the Sky, Junior Brown) clearly enjoy the intimacy of the venue. The shows always seem personal. As others have mentioned, beware the seats are a bit hard.

The historic opera house is iconic for Stoughton. The programs offered are varied and all top on the entertainment list. Prices for all programs are very reasonable. The renovation was completed by local volunteers and much thought and love was put into the work.

If you're going to be in Stoughton be sure to go to a concert. Don't worry about who's performing. The acoustics are so great here that just about any performer will sound fantastic. Just seeing a performance in this wonderfully restored old opera house is a delight.

The SOH is a landmark in the Stoughton area. A beautifully restored historic opera house is just one reason for your first visit. The staff have done a fantastic job establishing their venue as a music destination for performers of all stripes. Tickets often sell out within minutes as the fan base is often waiting to get online when they hear of a big performer coming to town. Very intimate venue to see some big names locally and up front. The acoustics are excellent as well. Might want to bring a stadium seat cushion as the seating has no cushioning. Pair up a visit to the SOH with one of the many new restaurants in town.

This is an opera house in a small town, inside the city hall. It is historic and renovated, a real find. It's really cute, with box seats on the sides.Tip: it's ok to get the tickets on the main floor that are 'obstructed view' - the view is really fine, and the pole is not very large, so you can save a few bucks and get these seats instead of full price. Prices are reasonable anyway. We sat in the next to last row on the main floor, and the seats were fine. One warning: the seats are hardwood, not that comfortable, so you can 'rent' a cushion for $1, or bring your own. Now that small town-ish! Enjoy. Another warning: bathrooms are in the basement, down a few flights of stairs, so be sure you can handle the stairs. We saw Jeff Daniels and the Ben Daniels band - really enjoyed them.

Yep, the seats are original and wooden. But part of what makes this a gem is the work they put into historical restoration. Check the wire hat rack under those seats. They are still there from the days when men always wore hats & needed a place to store them. The uncomfortable seats are worth it for the true beauty of the restoration and the exceptional quality & variety of performers and performances. This is the place you can bring your grumpy old fart and he'll be willing to sit for awhile and enjoy the show. I go at least 5-10 times a year (and yes, I bought my own cushions) and am always thrilled at the acoustics and amazed at the eclectic mix of top quality perfomers: Uke, folk, historic marching band, easy listening, blue grass, jazz, western, county, a cappela, local groups, comedy, world travellers, old rock, you name it, it's been there. What's really amazing is the joy the audience has and the intimacy where they are comfortable talking to the perfomers on stage. Everyone has a good time just bein'. There are folks there who never would go to any other theater, and those truely knowlegable about music. Both find what they are looking for. Go. Have fun.

A journey to Stoughton for the Opera House is worth the drive. Some great acts for a small town. Check the schedule for what you want. Beautifully restored space above city hall. http://stoughtonoperahouse.ticketforce.com/

The seats are pure torture and the air conditioning non existent. For the ticket price they charge you get a very poor value. A very basic old venue ,not upscale even in its prime by any means (compare to the Al Ringling in Baraboo,Wi. the Coleman in Miami,Ok. etc.) The show was awesome and the staff were great but they need to forget history and replace those awful seats. You will not be able to pay full attention to the act or fully enjoy the show,you will be distracted by the pain on some level.The only bathroom is on the basement level. Besides the awful discomfort it's really pretty cool!
