About Tabor Opera House

Built in 1879 by mining magnate Horace Tabor, this opera house in one of the highest-elevation cities in North America serves as a cultural and community center in a town that lacks other performance spaces. The National Trust for Historic Preservation has named it a National Treasure. Visitors can take guided tours through the museum, theater, stage, and dressing rooms, and the venue also presents live music, theater, films, and workshops. Ongoing rehabilitation work is underway to protect the building from decades of harsh winters.
