Just a little note about our new Ohio Valley Opry Theater in Belpre: We know it’s bittersweet to hear we’ll be moving from the Opera House after our December 7th show. We’ll certainly miss that beautiful stage and the memories we’ve made together there. But we're also so grateful for this opportunity to grow our show and continue bringing you the music and performances you love, just in a new home in Belpre!
Your continued support means the world to us, and we can’t wait to share more details about what’s to come. We hope to see you in Belpre soon, and of course, at our final Opera House show on December 7th to celebrate all the wonderful years we’ve spent together. Thank you for being with us on this journey, and we'll be sharing more info about our move to Belpre soon! 🎶❤️
