Private Events
The Rolling Stones, Johnny Carson and President Harry S. Truman all have one thing in common: they’ve all held historic events at Kiel Opera House. And now, you can join their ranks. After an expansive $75 million renovation, the St. Louis institution formerly known as Kiel Opera House will open this fall, renamed as Peabody Opera House.
Many of the same things that make Peabody Opera House an unforgettable concert venue—a historic building, grand architecture, classic design, modern amenities—also make it perfect for private events and much more.
