Tabor Opera House Preservation Foundation

Tabor Opera House Preservation Foundation The Tabor Opera House Preservation Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to revitalizing Leadville's historic Tabor Opera House.

High in the Colorado Rockies stands the Tabor Opera House, where you can still sense spirit of the Silver Rush. Set in Leadville, Colorado, the highest-elevation city in North America, the Tabor Opera House hosts world-class performances and tours each summer. In 2019, this remnant of the wild West—deemed a National Treasure by the National Trust for Historic Preservation—celebrated its 140th anni

versary. Yet the decades have taken a toll on the Tabor, named one of Colorado’s Endangered Places, by Colorado Preservation, Inc. Today, a spirited effort is underway to revitalize this historic opera house and create a center for diverse arts and culture in the heart of Leadville.

This Boom Days weekend, come spend some time with us at the Tabor! 🎭

We’re running 4 tours a day, Friday–Sunday! The best way to explore the whole building and soak up all our juicy history.

There’s a story around every corner, and it’s the perfect way to make your Boom Days trip even more immersive!

📣 Heads up: we’ve added Saturday tours this year, which take the place of the community talent show, we didn’t have quite enough participants sign up this time around. 📣 That just means more chances to wander the Tabor with us!

Stop by, say hi, and let us show you around. ✨
