The Face on the Barroom Floor

July 30; August 4, 8 at 1:15 p.m.

Celebrate the spirit of the Old West with our popular 30-minute opera! Visit the historic Face Bar in the Teller House and see the legendary painting of the beautiful Madeline on the barroom floor. Then cross the street to Williams Stables and step back in time for a passionate, tragic love triangle based on the poetic legend surrounding the painting.

Our talented Apprentice Artists from the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation Artists Training Program bring to life this timeless tale of jealousy. Composed by Henry Mollicone in 1978 for Central City Opera, The Face on the Barroom Floor is now one of America’s most popular cabaret operas.

Performed on select dates during the Festival (see calendar) at 1:15 p.m. in Williams Stables, tickets for Face on the Barroom Floor are $12 per person/$8 for subscribers. If you have not reserved a seat in advance (highly recommended), check with the box office in the Teller House for possible same-day tickets.
