Restoration Update: April 9, 2025
The Grand Ledge Opera House is on the path to recovery following the significant flooding that impacted the historic venue. Restoration efforts are well underway, with local contractor Key Builders Inc. leading the project. Known for their outstanding work in the Grand Ledge community, Key Builders Inc. is dedicated to returning the Opera House to its former glory.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Key Builders team, essential repairs are in progress, including drywall, painting, and flooring. These improvements will not only repair the damage but also enhance the space, ensuring the Opera House continues to serve as a premier venue for Grand Ledge for years to come.
The Grand Hall is expected to reopen in May, followed by the Terrace Level in June. The Opera House team is excited to welcome back patrons and is grateful for the ongoing support from the community throughout this restoration process.
Stay tuned for further updates as we look forward to celebrating the grand reopening of this cherished historic venue.
Press Release January 31, 2025
On Sunday evening of January 26, 2025 the Opera House sustained substantial water damage from a burst pipe that was part of the fire suppression system. The warning system worked as designed and notified the Grand Ledge Fire Department. They responded quickly to evaluate the alarm and subsequently turned off the water. Staff was notified and also responded to the Opera House. Staff contacted Servpro and they immediately responded to mitigation needs.
The Opera House is currently closed to the public, but office staff is available. If you have an upcoming event scheduled, you will be contacted. The Opera House Board Authority is currently meeting with insurance representatives and contractors. It is very early in the process but the current estimate is that we will be able to re-open in May. We will keep the public apprised of progress as information is available.
August 2023 Storm Update
The Grand Ledge Opera House like so many other businesses suffered storm damage on August 24th. We lost power for a few days, had a lot of debris to clean up and 3 Blue Spruce trees came down in our gardens that run alongside the bridge. We are very fortunate that there was no structural damage to our building. We would like to thank the utility and tree companies, City, County and State for their quick efforts in restoring our services and aiding us in our time of need.
