Sheridan Opera House
A small-town opera house built in 1913, with red velvet seats and hand-painted curtains, still hosting concerts, plays and film festival screenings.
The Sheridan Opera House was built in 1913 and, together with the neighbouring New Sheridan Hotel of 1895, is one of the best-known historic buildings on Main Street. In its mining-town days it was the entertainment hub for the wealthy and hosted touring dance companies and theatre troupes. Today the auditorium, which seats about 250, remains in use, hosting concerts, comedy, children's theatre and Telluride Film Festival screenings throughout the year. It retains its historic hand-painted curtain and boxes. Visitors can go in during performances, but it is not open for general tours at other times. The old bar on the ground floor of the hotel is also worth a drink.
