The Barre Opera House was built in 1899 to replace a predecessor
that had burnt down. It was shut down in 1944 and remained
pretty much unused until 1982, when efforts began to restore
and renovate it. Today it is the cultural center of Barre,
offering 70-100 events each year and hosting events such as
the Celebration Series. About 20,000 visitors annually enjoy
performances at the Barre Opera House by both local and international
artists.
A trip to its Website
will reveal a very interesting and detailed history of the
Opera House, a calendar of events and more. The Barre Opera
House can be reached at 802-476-0292.
