Dothan Opera House

Dothan Opera House is a performance venue with Classical Revival and Italianate design features including three arched entry doors and ionic columns. The building holds about 600 seats and continues to host theater, music, and dance performances.

The building opened in 1915 during a period of growth in Dothan and was designed to serve as a municipal auditorium and city offices. This timing made it a gathering place for the community during the city's expansion.

The name reflects its original role as a venue for operas and concerts in this growing city. Today the community uses it as a center for live performances of all kinds.

The venue is designed for good sightlines and is accessible to visitors with mobility needs. Visitors should check ahead to see what is scheduled and plan their visit accordingly.

Stone statues of opera singers stand on the roofline, placed symmetrically above the building's facade. These sculptures create a decorative crown that makes the structure instantly recognizable.
