Grand Opera House

The Grand Opera House is a historic opera house located at the corner of High Avenue and Market Street in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It was built in 1883, and has since undergone two renovations. The first renovation took place during the 1980s and the second in 2009. The theater was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The Grand is owned by the City of Oshkosh and leased to and operated by the non-profit Oshkosh Opera House Foundation.

The Oshkosh Opera House Foundation

The Foundation is responsible for The Grand's rental activity as well as providing a fine arts season of national and international touring artists. Each year, over 25 public performances and approximately 10 youth events comprise the fine arts season with additional activities, including community theater, corporate meetings and weddings, filling The Grand to capacity.

The Intimate Atmosphere

The 668-seat house has the intimacy of a European-style theater with outstanding acoustics. The Victorian décor is accentuated with velvet seats, a ladies' warming room and marble fireplaces. But it is the beauty and uniqueness of the hall in every detail that continues to draw artists and audiences from around the world.
