Sheridan Opera House

Sheridan Opera House sits in downtown Telluride at 110 North Oak St, inside a building that dates back to the town's mining days. It's a historic theater that's hosted touring acts across genres for years, and it also serves as one of the venues for the Telluride Bluegrass and Jazz festivals. The room itself has real character, ornate and small enough that you feel close to the stage no matter where you sit.

Worth knowing if you're planning a trip around a show: Telluride is a destination in itself, so pair the concert with a day in the mountains. Parking downtown is limited, so plan to walk or bike in.
