Pella Opera House 2015

At this week’s city council meeting, Mayor Jim Mueller proclaimed October 24th as Pella Opera House day.

That date is when the Pella Opera House will hold their silver anniversary celebration. Executive Director Kevin McQuade says the building reopened as an opera house in 1990 following extensive renovations. He says they are holding a $1 million capital campaign for upgrades and repairs.

The program will feature local talent, and we will be honoring the inaugural class of ten inductees to their Founders’ Society. Social hour begins at 6 p.m. Formal program begins at 7:30. Heavy appetizers and open bar. Desserts and a champagne toast following the program. Please call 641-628-8628 for more information.
