The Lisbon Opera House is a three-story Romanesque Revival structure erected in 1889 in Lisbon, North Dakota, combining commercial and cultural functions under one roof. The ground floor originally housed retail space as part of the J.C. Penney Building, while the performance venue occupied the second and third stories. One of the few surviving prairie opera houses and among the finest of its era, the building hosted opera performances until approximately 1910, when it transitioned to showing motion pictures until 1922. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
