About Us:
The Pella Opera House is a non-profit organization founded by a group of community leaders committed to bringing the finest performing artists to the people of Pella and surrounding communities. Today, our purpose includes the presentation of internationally acclaimed artists from the entire spectrum of the performing arts and educational activities that entertain, uplift, educate and inspire audiences, students and artists. We believe the arts benefit everyone. Therefore, we strive to provide the exposure to a broad spectrum of the population and also to those who otherwise could not afford to attend arts events.
Since 1990 the Pella Opera House has presented over 250 performances of the world’s finest music, dance and theatre. The Pella Opera House is the largest institution for the arts in Marion County and provides a key anchor in the touring schedules of artists for the Midwest audiences.
Since its inception, the Opera House has included educational programs on the regular season schedule. Master classes, lectures, demonstrations and workshops held in local elementary schools, high schools, community centers and partnerships with other sponsors and organizations.
