Wheeler Opera House Concerts

We saw the student opera performance, all of them were so talented. The opera house itself is very beautiful, definitely a super cool historic place. The seating is very close to the stage, it’s an intimate setting. We enjoyed the performance we saw immensely, would definitely recommend their next performance on August 10th!

This has to be one of the coolest historic performing arts venues in the country. We saw Legend Has It here hosted by Teton Gravity Research, I also plan on coming back for Warren Miller Films and to see Dance Aspen perform. Their programming is awesome, and the building itself is beautifully restored and every single detail is so pristine. I look forward to attending more shows here in the future, its a really intimate venue. Pro tip: come early before the show if you want to hit the bar before your show, and also the balcony tends to fill up faster than the lower levels. Open seating, no assigned seats here.

We watched Handel's Messiah, performed by Aspen Choral Society. Beautiful theater. Friendly workers. Amazing performance.

Quite poor acoustics for opera, unfortunately. A very dead acoustic space with very little resonance for the unamplified human voice. Certainly, historical, but Aspen could do much better with its money for a better acoustical environment for the type of performance that this space is supposed to be ideal for.

I went with my girl friend to see a Queen tribute and we really enjoyed it. The theatre is really nice and everything's clean. The bad thing was that we couldn't take any videos of the show, but besides that it was great.
