Ellie Caulkins Opera House
- 14th and Curtis, Denver Center Performing Arts Complex
The Ellie Caulkins Opera House
opened in September 2005. It is the
newest venue in the Denver Center
Performing Arts Complex and is fitted
inside the beautifully renovated
Newton Auditorium, built to house
Denver’s first Democratic convention
and cultural events.
The curving rows of 2,400 seats
and fine acoustics are designed for
opera, ballet and choral music. The
Ellie, as it's called after the major
donor, is home to Opera Colorado and
the Colorado Ballet and will be host to
other events such as this summer's
"The Little Mermaid."
On the lower level is the elegant
Chambers Grant Salon, which houses
Kevin Taylor's at the Opera House,
open during performances and for
special events.
When money is available, a 300-
seat studio theater, to be used by
community groups and performers,
and a founder's room with small stage
will be added. |
