Welcome to Lead Opera House
Known as the Jewel of the Black Hills, the Lead Opera House has been a majestic landmark in the small mining town of Lead, South Dakota for nearly a century.Completed in August 1914, the Lead Opera House was built with superior craftsmanship and the highest quality materials available at that time. In addition to providing a venue for quality theatre, it housed a Recreation building complete with a bowling alley, swimming pool, library, social rooms and facilities for billiards and pool, all free to the public with the exception of the Opera House
Having endured two major fires, today the Opera House is undergoing massive reconstruction to
restore the interior theatre and Recreation Building to its former grandeur. Fundraising efforts
spearheaded by the town members are currently underway.
