BROOKLYN — Tickets are on sale now for fall events at the The Brooklyn Opera House.
A cornerstone of the Brooklyn community since 1911, the Opera House has scheduled a diverse lineup of events includes local musicians and tribute artists.
Tickets for all events are available at brooklynoperahouse.com.
Jake and Blake
Jake Simon and Blake Jack will perform Sept. 21 at 8 p.m.
Simon, originally from Central Iowa, made his debut on country radio with "I Still Think About You,“ a Top 40 single on the Music Row Country Breakout chart.
Two bands looking for a new start came together to create Blake Jack + South 35. Together they make up a high-energy party band that plays mostly country cover tunes, but brings the feeling of a rock concert.
The band’s set list includes everything from classic Brooks & Dunn and Garth Brooks, to modern Jason Aldean and Eric Church. The band will throw in a few rock staples from Guns N’ Roses and AC/DC and some of their own originals.
Neil Diamond
A Neil Diamond Tribute Show by Eric Diamond is set for Sept. 28 at 7 p.m.
Eric Diamond has been Wisconsin’s Favorite Neil Diamond Tribute Artist for the last 21 years. He has been told on countless occasions that he sounds more like Neil than Neil Diamond does.
Primarily focusing his solo shows between the southeast and northwestern regions of Wisconsin, for the last 14 years Eric has toured the casinos, theaters and festivals of the Midwest as a headliner with the Ultimate Legends Show Band.
The King
An Elvis Tribute Show by Jimmy Holmes is scheduled for Saturday Oct. 26 and Sunday, Oct. 27. The evening show starts with dinner at 5 p.m. before the 7 p.m. concert.
Sunday’s matinee begins at 3 p.m.
Gala
The fourth annual Fundraiser Gala is set for 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 1 at the Michael J Manatt Community Center.
The funds raised at this event help maintain and improve community facilities, including the Opera House, Michael J Manatt Community Center and the newly renovated First National Bank Building.

“As fall nears, we are excited to offer a full lineup of activities to help the community celebrate the end of the year,” said Laura Manatt, General Manager of the Brooklyn Opera House.
“Another full season of local arts and entertainment culminates with our annual fundraiser gala, and we hope you can join us so we can keep these critical amenities alive and well in Brooklyn for years to come.”
