            The City Opera House collaborates with Michigan State University’s Wharton Center for Performing Arts to present the Performing Arts and LIVE at the Opera House series in downtown Traverse City. City Opera House is one of 48 opera houses built in Michigan in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, only seven of these historic Victorian structures are open statewide.

Admission is $40 and $30/ students: $15. Location: 106 E. Front St., Traverse City. Get tickets at CityOperaHouse.org.
