The same architect who designed the Napa Court House, Ira Gilchrist, also designed this Opera House. Italian styled look outside made the opera house appear to have been directly transported from the streets of Rome. The inside of the site had a curtain depicting the Bay of Naples in Italy. Brass chandeliers, a spectacular staircase, and a majestic stained-glass skylight highlighted the inside of the location like a royal palace. The late nineties saw the thirteen million dollars renovation and reopened the opera house better than ever in 2003. Although now it has been refurbished into a more modern styled, luxurious Opera House, the elegance and splendid beauty is still present and can be seen in every coner of the place.

The Opera house came into being just after the end of the Civil War. Opening with the wonderful performance of comic 'H.M.S. Pinafore' by the infamous duo, Gilbert and Sullivan, the opera house indeed proved the ultimate buzz place for the city. Holding events and shows almost every night including plays, concerts, lectures as well as vaudeville acts, the opera house became the place to be. Several big names from the arts industry performed on the venue. Singer Luisa Tetrazzini, jazz legend Wynton Marsalis, writer Jack London, theatre performer Rita Moreno and musicians Willie Nelson and Steve Martin are just few of them.

Even though it was always buzzing with stars and headlining performers, the opera house is more renowned for being the epicenter of the locals. Many high school graduations, political sermons and countless public meetings also took place in the same arena. The opera house also proved to be a local business center for almost a century, by serving as an incubator for several family-owned small enterprises. Hence, the history of events associated with the Opera House is as beautiful as the building itself.

The grand venue continues to hold diverse forms of events and shows. Currently in line is the comedy show by Drew Carey followed by the Street Corner Symphony's concert. Elvin Bishop and Ballet Folklorico de Napa are also scheduled to appear for live performances at the opera house.
