Very quaint theater. It's clean and appears to be run mostly by volunteers. There's 2 flights of stairs to get to the main level. There's an elevator on the back side of you have trouble walking. Almost all of the seats have good visibility and sound. The seats are hard wood, not comfortable at all. Beware if you're tall and big, there's not a lot of leg room. There's a lot of great talent that comes to the Rochester Opera House & a lot of shows worth seeing. The concession stand consists of a popcorn machine, water and minimal bar. Before the show started we went up for popcorn, the lady didn't give us the popcorn because she said she only had 2 bags left and was going to pop more. She never popped any more! During intermission, we went back up and she gave out the 2 bags of the previous pop corn and said she wasn't making any popcorn, so we never got any popcorn. Why have the popcorn to begin with if you're only making it 1 time?

The Opera House is really great because being on the smaller side, there is not a bad seat in the house! We saw the Summer production of The Sound of Music and it was stellar! The gal who played Maria was delightful and winsome, with a great voice! The Mother Superior had an extraordinary voice! The Von Trapp children were each memorable! It was great to experience such excellent community theater!!

Went to watch my grandchildren in a play and the acoustics were amazing. Could hear just about all the kids on the stage.

We saw Mayor Pete here on Veteran's day and this place was lovely and Mayor Pete was amazing. I had to use my wheelchair and with my daughters patient help could manage. There's an elevator.

I bought tickets for LeAnn Rimes 10/27 and now I understand she is not coming and we get a person who just released her first album for prices I would not pay that rate if I knew it were not LeAnn. What options do I have?

Gail gilman | Aug 23, 2019
Debby Santos | Aug 23, 2019

Yes, there are stairs, but an elevator is available if needed. When I went I believe I used the front door but I think you can just use any entrance.
