 Lincoln
Theater - Welcome to Lincoln Theater - a premier entertainment
destination in Napa Valley! We have some very exciting programming
to offer you – thanks in large part to the extremely generous
support from our community, including Friends of Lincoln Theater
board members –the same wonderful people who brought about
the transformation of the theater during the past five years. Since
the theater has been open now for almost a full year, we have already
had some spectacular performing arts experiences in this lovely
hall. We have seen Broadway performers, legends from the world music
genre, and the incomparable Johnny Mathis – on stage with
our own Napa Valley Symphony - not to mention community presentations
like Napa Regional Dance Company’s sold out performances of
The Nutcracker.
 Napa
Valley Opera House - The Napa Valley Opera House was
built in 1879 as one of the first "respectable" venues
west of the Mississippi River. For the latter half of the 19th century,
the Napa Valley Opera House was the cultural center for the region,
until the decline of vaudeville and other pressures forced it to
go dark in 1914. The house was nearly destroyed until a few Napa
Valley Opera House devotees spared it from the wrecking ball in
the early 1970s. For the last 15 years, the NVOH has been slowly
restoring itself for a new future through a series of fundraising
challenges, construction activities and visionary plans. The house
came back to life in June 2002 with the opening of the Cafe Theatre;
its historic main hall is expected to reopen in late summer, 2003,
in all of its original splendor.
