NORWAY – The community gathered on March 17 at the Wolf and Harp to support the effort to renovate and repair the historic Norway Opera House.
Singer and songwriter Caroline Rose took the stage in front of a full house.
“The concert was a huge success,” said Matt Delameter, president of the Norway Opera House’s Board of Directors. “We were so lucky to have the incredible Caroline Rose perform with her band at our amazing sold-out fundraising event. They rocked the house and gave us all an incredible glimpse of what can be in the future performance space of the Norway Opera House.”
The structure, listed on the National Register of History Buildings, has been a cultural landmark in Norway since town residents rebuilt it in 1894 after the great fire that devastated much of downtown. It has been a steadfast symbol of hope and resolve, standing tall at the center of Main Street. The building was once the center for commerce, entertainment, and community, a site for graduations, dances, theater, and traveling shows.
More events are scheduled this year to help raise money for the project. For information, visit www.norwayoperahouse.org.
