The Wilson Czech Opera House Corporation is a historic venue located in Derby, Kansas. The building was constructed in 1906 by the Wilson family, who were prominent members of the Czech community in the area. The opera house served as a gathering place for the community, hosting cultural events, dances, and theatrical performances.

Over the years, the building fell into disrepair and was eventually abandoned. In 2011, a group of local citizens formed the Wilson Czech Opera House Corporation with the goal of restoring the building to its former glory. After years of fundraising and renovation work, the opera house reopened in 2015.

Today, the Wilson Czech Opera House hosts a variety of events, including concerts, weddings, and community gatherings. The historic building has been restored to its original grandeur, with ornate details and beautiful stained glass windows. The venue can accommodate up to 300 guests and has a full-service kitchen and bar.

The Wilson Czech Opera House Corporation is dedicated to preserving the history and culture of the Czech community in Derby and the surrounding area. The opera house is a beloved landmark and a testament to the community's commitment to preserving its heritage.
