Williams' Stables

Colorado


Part of the Central City Opera house, Williams' Stables is a 90-seat venue that showcases short works of opera. It is also used as a rehearsal space for the opera company. As its name suggests, Williams' Stables was once a full-service livery; it was used by guests of what was once an opulent hotel across the street.
