Located in the heart of downtown Stoughton, the Opera House is known for its intimate setting, perfect acoustics, and genuine live music experience.  First opened in 1901 and beautifully restored by a community-led effort in the 1980s, the historic venue operates with a mission to present high-quality live performances while also benefiting the community and region.

“We’re proud to bring a season that reflects both the artistic excellence and community spirit the Opera House is known for,” said Bill Brehm, Director of the Stoughton Opera House. “This lineup represents some of the finest musicians touring today and we’re grateful to our members, patrons, volunteers and the greater Stoughton community for making it all possible.”

Stoughton Opera House Members not only support the historic theater but also receive exclusive benefits, including early access to tickets starting August 4th at 9am. Shows often sell out quickly.   Tickets can be purchased online via the Stoughton Opera House website, over the phone at 608-877-4400, or in person at the box office at 381 East Main Street Stoughton, Wisconsin.
