Here comes summer!

June has turned into a very busy month in YOUR Vergennes Opera House and we LOVE IT! Just this past weekend we hosted the VUHS seniors at their annual Baccalaureate Program, Thursday this week we host a FREE concert, and next week there is the Gubernatorial Forum followed by a children's summer camp a week later.  

There is nothing better than a busy opera house don't you agree?

We've also been putting the finishing touches on the 2016-17 season of events and we will share that with you soon. In the meantime enjoy the summer because guess what? It is here!
