The Jersey Opera House is a working theatre in Saint Helier, Jersey, serving as a venue for opera, drama, and cinema. Originally designed by local architect Adolphus Curry in 1900, the building was reconstructed in 1922 by the architectural firm Jesty & Baker, retaining its distinctive Art Nouveau style with an "imposing and slightly Frenchified" façade. The theatre is administered by the States of Jersey and operated by Jersey Opera House Limited. Among its notable interior features is an ornate chandelier comprising 10,200 pieces, which undergoes thorough cleaning approximately every five years. Recent refurbishment work has included the removal of a protective canopy to restore the façade to its appearance from the 1960s.
