More Than Just Booking a Show
At the Lakeport Opera House, every show on our stage is handpicked.
We do not just book acts from a list — Emma Teto and her crew travel all over the country to conferences, concerts, festivals, and showcases to see performances live before bringing them to Laconia.
We do it because we truly love live entertainment, and we want to make sure we are bringing variety for everyone and the best possible experiences to our community.

Before any artist steps onto our stage, we have seen them ourselves, felt the energy in the room, and thought about how our audience will connect with them. Whether it is a concert, tribute act, dance night, comedy show, or theater production, every event is chosen with care.

We also work closely with performers to negotiate and plan costs so we can keep ticket prices as affordable as possible. We believe great live entertainment should be something everyone can enjoy.
A lot of time, travel, and work goes into building our season — but honestly, it is the fun part. We love discovering new talent and creating nights people will remember.
