Tabor Opera House Preservation Foundation

The Tabor Opera House is part of a public-private partnership between the City of Leadville (City) and Tabor Opera House Preservation Foundation (Foundation). It is owned by the City and operated and maintained by the 501(c)3 non-profit Foundation that is led by an all-volunteer Board of Directors. The vision for this iconic structure is to revitalize it as Leadville’s community hub of arts, culture, and entertainment. The 25,000 ft 2 structure is currently undergoing its first major rehabilitation since its construction, to address deferred maintenance and to re-activate underutilized building spaces. Simultaneously, the Foundation provides seasonal programming to diverse audiences including historic building tours, live entertainment, historic scenery workshops, and community events. Once rehabilitated, the Foundation will seek earned income through retail, office, and event space rentals.
