Lebanon Opera House

Located in the heart of historic Lebanon, NH, Lebanon Opera House (LOH) is the performing arts and culture hub of the Upper Valley. Our 100+ year-old theater is a place where creativity, connection, and joy come alive. We present national touring acts, elevate local performers, host community and school events, and make the arts accessible for all.

More than 90 performances enliven the LOH stage each year, and more than 30,000 people attend our programs annually. While most of our patrons come from within a 30-mile radius of Lebanon, our LOH Presents mainstage series draws audiences from as far away as Maine, Massachusetts, New York, and beyond. 

Lebanon Opera House also offers free and low-cost events that ensure community members of all ages and abilities can access transformative performing arts experiences. The Nexus Music and Arts Festival, now in its sixth year, presents 15-20 bands and community groups over three days, outdoors in downtown Lebanon. The festival is free, family-friendly, and open to all. Each spring and fall, our artist-in-residence program brings the performing arts off-stage into community spaces and culminates with free concerts in our theater. And our 2025/2026 Youth Education Series (YES!) served over 900 K-12 students from 17 schools in New Hampshire and Vermont, including homeschool groups. 

Your support helps LOH continue to:

• present live performances that inspire, educate, entertain, and unite our community. 
• broaden cultural horizons by spotlighting a diversity of local, national, and international artists.
• encourage community participation in the arts. 
• steward a special gathering place for community and school use that will engender future arts patrons and participants.

Your contribution today goes twice as far. As part of a larger $100,000 challenge from the Jack and Dorothy Byrne Foundation, every gift made during NH Gives will be matched dollar for dollar. 

If New Hampshire is to have heart, it must also have art. One cannot exist without the other.

Thank you for choosing creativity, connection, and a vibrant New Hampshire! 

With gratitude,

Team LOH
