Claremont Opera House Hosts Holiday Shows, Issues Ticketing Guidance

The Claremont Opera House, a central arts venue for Claremont and nearby towns, has been active this holiday season with performances and family programming that draw local audiences and visitors. ADRENALIZE played on December 6 and Clara Dreamz performed on December 12 and 13. The Opera House is scheduled to present its 3rd Annual Winter Wonders on December 20, and its events page also lists several bookings into 2026.

The venue uses its online listings page as the authoritative source for dates, times and box office policies. The page instructs patrons to buy tickets at the COH box office or at cohnh.org, and it cautions the public about third party ticket scams. The listings also explain the box office fee structure and offer ADA seating guidance to help patrons with accessibility needs plan their visits.

These operational details matter beyond convenience. The Opera House functions as a cultural anchor for local families, performers and small businesses. Shows bring foot traffic to downtown shops and restaurants, and family programming offers affordable entertainment options during a costly season. At the same time, box office fees and the risk of ticket scams can create financial barriers for lower income residents and older adults who may be targeted by fraudulent sellers. Clear, accessible information about official purchasing channels and seating accommodations helps protect consumers and supports equitable access to the arts.

Public health considerations remain part of planning for indoor gatherings. Accessible seating and advance ticketing can reduce crowding and help operators manage safe entry and egress for patrons with mobility needs. The Opera House page aims to reduce confusion by centralizing scheduling and policy information, which can improve attendance management and community confidence.

As the holiday schedule continues, local residents who depend on the Opera House for cultural and social connection should use the official COH box office or cohnh.org for tickets and review the ADA seating guidance before attending. Maintaining transparent policies and affordable access will be important for ensuring the venue serves all members of the Sullivan County community.
