Hall of Fame

Inspiring musical and theatrical performances have graced the historic stage of the Earlville Opera House for decades, but until now, we didn't have a comprehensive list of the hundreds of artists who have contributed to the cultural fabric of the Earlville Opera House and our region. So in gratitude of the hundreds of incredible performances we've had here at the Opera House, and for the sake of good memories and nostalgia, the EOH Hall of Fame is a comprehensive, up- to- date list of all the musicians who've filled the EOH with smiles and harmonies.
