The Historic Elitch Theatre is proud to announce the third year of the Elitch Encore series, bringing live theatre back to one of Denver’s most cherished venues. For 2026 we’re excited to partner with Opera Colorado for our May offering.
Each production will feature two performances – a Saturday evening performance and a Sunday matinee.
The Historic Elitch Theatre presents FREE concerts inside the beautifully restored Historic Elitch Carousel Shell, offering the community a fantastic way to enjoy live music in a historic setting. These Sunday performances showcase talented local artists, creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere for all ages.
Bring chairs or a blanket, relax under the trees, and experience the magic of music in one of Denver’s most cherished landmarks—all at no cost!
Step into the past and immerse yourself in the rich heritage of one of Denver’s most iconic landmarks. Discover the secrets, stories, and legends that have shaped the history of this extraordinary theater.
Throughout the Summer we offer regularly scheduled and ticketed tours, as well as private group tours.
Presenting Sponsor ($5,000)

We have a unique sponsorship opportunity for one business looking to support the theatre and also help us thank our 100+ summer volunteers! This sponsorship costs $2,000 and it covers the cost of our volunteer t-shirts, plus it contributes to our end-of-year volunteer appreciation.
As our Volunteer Sponsor your commitment goes beyond mere financial assistance; it symbolizes a dedication to the community. Sponsoring the Historic Elitch Theatre is not only a strategic marketing opportunity — it offers valuable brand exposure with your logo on the back of the shirts — but it is also a meaningful way to invest in the preservation of Denver’s oldest cultural venue.
NOTE: This is a single sponsorship that is only open to one company.
