Lawn-Highland has been the home of the Ash Lawn Opera for
the past thirty one years. During that time Ash Lawn Opera
has grown from a community chamber organization to a nationally
known opera company. With that professional success, comes
larger audiences and the need for a better performance venue.

season featuring, Camelot and The Marriage
of Figaro, will be presented at the historic Paramount
Theater on the Downtown Mall. This fine theater includes space
