The old Pocahontas County Opera House is a gem in the little town of Marlinton. Â There's plenty of room for seating during musical performances, and the gorgeous room lends itself well to anything from square dancing to yoga. Â I haven't seen a theatrical performance there yet, but I have high hopes.
Review Source:I went to my first Opera House performance during Allegheny Echoes a couple weeks ago. Â The place was packed, but it still felt cozy and intimate. Â I don't think it can seat more than 250 people, but there was still standing room.
The building itself was beautiful. Â There were a ton of windows and there was a little bar counter in the corner, though I don't think anybody was selling anything that night. Â The ceiling looked like it had been tin pressed. Â Somebody said the building was 100 years old. Â Very cool.
I think Ben Sollee and My Morning Jacket are playing at the opera house at the end of the month. Â I'll definitely go back!
