To step inside of this wonderful place, so steeped in history is like stepping back in time.

A wonderful place for good local entertainment, great restaurants in walking range. We had so much fun!

Beautiful old building on the Monticello town square. Great theater. Monticello is a bustling little community.

Who knew there was life this side of the state? Passed by the Monticello Opera House last weekend. Got to see their murder mystery show, The Altos Hit Broadway. Apparently the Monticello Opera House hosts various shows throughout the season, including a murder mystery show each year. I just happened to catch the last showing of it. Typically these shows include dinner as well, so it's essentially dinner theater. Don't ask me about price as I was invited, but the dinner included bread, salad, a chicken with pasta dinner, and a dessert (this time being a sponge cake). While the food certainly wasn't gourmet, it was better than expected. I recommend not eating the entire dinner though if you're like me with a tiny stomach. You'll be asking to get rolled out of there. Note, too, that they have a bar on site for drinks. These you purchase separately. Parking around the area is ample and free. This little town doesn't seem have much going for it except this majestic-looking opera house, which I found out has two floors and has been around forever and a day. They seem to host a variety of events, and well, I definitely want to go back. The Playbill I received had next season's showings and there's one there that intrigues me about Anne Frank. Hmm...

As someone who is on that stage a lot,I love the opera house, though I do wish they would install better air conditioning or something because the dressing rooms are so hot and get smelly, plus dancing and moving around on stage gets very hot at times.

We had the downstairs view instead of upstairs. The seating was uncomfortable and they didn’t think that fans or air conditioning was needed. We ended up leaving after the 1st take. Cast did a good job.

Attended a play at this jewel of a place for the first time since the pandemic. Though the past plays I attended have been staged in the banquet hall (with a delicious catered dinner and an open bar), sitting in the auditorium was really nice. The building is old but precious, with original wood throughout. Though I had an enjoyable time, the only drawback was the sound. I am not sure of the types of microphones, etc., used. I heard most of the actors clearly, but a couple of the actors' voices were a bit muffled throughout the play. All in all, I am looking forward to attending more plays. And if/when I feel comfortable again being seated closely with other patrons at the same table, in a limited space while sharing a common meal, I will definitely do so - just not now. Though the auditorium is on the second floor and there are two flights of stairs, there is also an elevator. Of note, for those who love quaint settings for performances, consider donating to MOH to help maintain the ambiance and structural features.

We had an amazing time. The bands, " The Krickets " and " The Currys" were both very good and entertaining.
