Beautiful, renovated small venue. The staff were very nice, the acoustics were excellent and of course, Delbert & band were superb. The downtown area is a wonderful place to wander around. Plan to go back after it warms up some. Had a great time!!!

Beautiful mid-sized opera house. The sound carrots and resonates beautifully. Very clean and well kept, too.Bottom cushions on seats could stand to be bolstered, or patrons could bring a pillow.

Enjoyed some live entertainment. Had a great time. Smaller hall seats a couple hundred or so. Happy to see some life happening in the downtown area. Parking was very close. One hotel option across the street. Look forward to more live shows.

Beautiful, historic building. Recent renovations have preserved the historicity of the building while including modern amenities. Houses the city administrative offices.

Sumter Opera House is beautiful. Tab Benoit wailed the paint off of his guitar with no effects pedals or gizmos except for his warm heart and wizard like skill on an electric guitar.Opening act Eric Johansson also was a stunningly wild yet proficient guitarist who was backed by Tad Benoits bass player, and WOW! Tab Benoit played drums for his own opening act! Tab Benoits driving beat in drumming for Johansson, who was amazing in his own right, shows that he must practice so much to reach such an riveting skill level that I wonder when Tab finds the time to sleep.Many other great acts come to Sumter Opera House and you should too.

Love the restoration of this 125 year old building in Sumter. They have been adding more live music over the past couple of years, which has been great!

We had an amazing experience at this venue. We saw Paula Cole tonight, and the show was incredible! However, the venue is also amazing. Friendly, inviting staff dedicated to arts and culture. The venue is beautifully preserved, and breathtaking. Also, if youre able, please donate to their YES program, which enables youth to attend live performances! Thanks Sumpter Opera House for a lovely evening.

An amazing, gorgeous venue. I used to work here, and I loved listening to music through the sound system. The acoustics are amazing, and you can play without any amplification and it sounds crystal clear. Ill never forget hearing Lang Scott (Lady Antebellums dad) unplug and sing completely acoustically. Goosebumps. Probably SCs best kept secret.
