Artist Development
Saturday, November 30th, 2024
The Artist Development Workshop & Show is a program of the Oklahoma Opry. Talented up and coming performers get to work with a professional vocal clinician in the afternoon and then perform the songs they developed during the workshop for a live audience. These workshops are free to performers and all proceeds from ticket and concession sales go back into our 501(c)3 organization to continue to make programs like this possible.

History & Heritage
The Opry grew from a love of music and family, and has become an important part of Oklahoma’s musical culture and history. Starting as a backyard gathering of family and friends who loved to play and sing country music - the Opry was formed and grew under the guidance of Granville “Grant” Leftwich (1929 – 2006). Starting in 1977 at the OKC National Guard Armory, the family-oriented country music show, the “Oklahoma Opry,” was officially launched. In 1979 the Opry moved into the renovated theater once called “Knob Hill” located in the Capitol Hill district of Oklahoma City. The Opry called Capitol Hill home until 2004 when they relocated to the historic Stockyards district under a new name. The Rodeo Opry found its new name and home in the Rodeo Theater where it resided until 2020. The Opry operated out of Stockyards Central, a small event center in Stockyards, after reopening post COVID. With plans to finally purchase a forever home in Bricktown at 19 E. California, the Opry moved out of Stockyards in May 2023. While renovations are being done on the forever home, Opry shows will continue at the Academy of Contemporary Music @ UCO. In the Fall of 2023, the Oklahoma Opry will celebrate 46 years of providing the best in family-friendly live entertainment and there's a lot more excitement to come.
