Built in the 1880s, Piper's Opera House attracted famous stars from Europe and the United States and is listed by the League of Historic Theaters. One of the most significant vintage theaters on the West Coast, this stage once welcomed President Grant, Buffalo Bill, Al Jolson and Mark Twain.
Today Piper's Opera House is a sought after Performing Arts Center. Theatrical performances, concerts, non-profit events and more continue to keep this historic house alive.

It is managed by the Virginia City Tourism Commission providing staff for the facility and oversight through a Board of Directors.
