BACKGROUND
Opened in 1880, the history of the iconic Napa Valley Opera House is also a journey for the local arts over the last 142 years.From 1880 to 1914, the Opera House was “the” performing arts and community event venue in the North Bay, hosting world class operas, musical concerts, vaudeville acts, theatre performances, lectures by famous authors, and numerous community events nearly every single night.In 1914, the stages went dark for decades, until 1997 when, led by the Mondavi and diRosa families, funds were raised to rebuild the Opera House to its former grandeur, with a magnificent re-opening in June 2002. In the fall of 2021, the Napa Valley Opera House Board of Trustees sold the Opera House to John and Michelle Truchard who remain committed to ensuring the building’s distinct place in our community for generations to come.
