The Clayton Opera House has announced its 2026 Season, featuring an exciting and diverse lineup of performers, musicians, speakers, and family entertainment.
The season showcases nationally recognized artists, beloved returning acts, and fresh new talent, continuing the Opera House’s mission to bring high-quality performing arts to the Thousand Islands region.

The season begins on March 6 with mentalist Peter Antoniou and continues through November 7 with Leland Faulkner’s Dreamcatcher, offering nearly two dozen opportunities for audiences to enjoy world-class performances in the historic Clayton Opera House.
Season highlights include David Sedaris, Tig Notaro, Sister Hazel, The Bacon Brothers, Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Syracuse Orchestra, Robin Kimmerer, “V” (formerly Eve Ensler), and a variety of popular tribute acts including Frontiers (Journey Tribute) and The Insiders (Tom Petty Tribute).

As part of the Opera House’s commitment to its supporters, ticket sales for Ensemble Level patrons and above will begin on November 20, 2025. This early-access benefit ensures that dedicated contributors have the first opportunity to secure seats to the most anticipated performances of the year. Tickets for the general public will go on sale March 21, 2026. The 2026 schedule offers something for every audience—comedy, live music, orchestras, literary icons, tributes, theatrical performances, and unique specialty shows.
Tickets can be purchased on our website, by calling the box office (315-686-2200), or by walk-
