Wright's Opera House, sometimes referred to as Wright's Hall, was constructed in 1888 and is located at 472 Main Street in Ouray, Colorado. For many years after the mining bust and subsequent end of performances it was used as a multi-use building for presentations and community events. Around the year 2000 it was converted into a movie theater which operated until late 2006. Currently it serves as a performing arts center and stages annual dance productions.

This structure is a contributing property to the Ouray Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.[2]
