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.
