Traverse City's handsome second-story City Opera House has been a source of community pride since its construction in 1891. The first building in Traverse City to install electric lights, the Opera House hosted plays, lectures, meetings, balls, concerts and vaudeville acts before closing in 1920. It is being restored to its former splendor, and is now used for a variety of community meetings, dances and other events. The restoration is nearly complete, and in 2007 the Opera House has planned a full schedule of performance events. Tickets for many events are available online at the Opera House Web site.
