The theatre was built in 1923 after the original Thatcher Opera House burned in 1912, with a recent restoration to its original splendor in 1991. The Ellen Eccles Theatre is home to the largest full-production stage north of Salt Lake City. The Ellen Eccles Theatre Presents season provides a broad spectrum of the finest performing arts available. As our premiere program, you’ll find something for every artistic taste. Many local performing companies also utilize the Theatre including Utah Festival Opera, Cache Regional Theatre, and Cache Valley Civic Ballet. The atmosphere is magical, the space intimate, with flawless acoustics, exquisite sight lines, and state-of -the-art equipment. Just like ancient Egypt’s mythological Phoenix, the Ellen Eccles Theatre has been revived as the “Crown Jewel” of entertainment for Northern Utah and Cache Valley. This European style theatre accommodates 1,100 patrons and is a superb example neoclassical design. The ornate grand foyer, sweeping balconies, and exquisitely restored murals of the mythological Phoenix will enchant you.
