About The Rainbow Fish at Newberry Opera House

Evincing a history that dates back to 1881 and includes stints as a city jail, mayor’s office, and silent-film palace, the 419-seat Newberry Opera House is a spectacle in itself. A multimillion-dollar renovation project modernized the institution's eclectic Victorian craftwork by adding state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems and removing the horse-drawn curtain-raising system. While the opera house usually only presents one opera a year, over 200 events are held annually featuring everything from bluegrass and country to rock to acrobats or light puppets.
