C.L. Hoover Opera House
A Bit of Opera House History
After a 26 year hiatus, the former Junction City Opera House re-opened to the public on October 3, 2008. Historically the building has been used as an Opera House, a warehouse, a movie theatre, and once again today as a state of the art performing arts center.
In 2003 the Opera House was placed on the state register of historic places and plans were put in place to begin the renovation of this cultural treasure. Construction on the renovation begin in earnest in 2007 until the project was completed and once again returned to the people of Junction City as a vibrant and productive cultural landmark.
