John F. Kennedy Center Opera House
The Opera House sits inside the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, a vibrant artistic space hosting 2,000 cultural events, theater performances, Broadway shows, and more each year. The Opera House is just one of the Kennedy Center’s seven venues, hosting major ballet, opera, and musical performances. Unlike the modern architecture you may find in other parts of the Kennedy Center, the Opera House features walls lined with red velvet, silk gold curtains, and crystal chandeliers, creating a sense of grandeur and luxury.
The Opera House seats 2,347 guests, making it the second-largest venue in the Kennedy Center. The Washington National Opera and the annual Kennedy Center Honors use the Opera House as their home performing theater. Aside from these performance companies, you can see a wide range of events at the Opera House, including comedies like Mama Mia! or Clue.
