Inspiration Point
Opera in the Ozarks at Inspiration Point is located at 16311 Hwy. 62 West, in Eureka Springs, just 10 minutes from our Eureka Springs bed and breakfast, 5 Ojo.
As Inspiration Point’s name implies, it is an iconic location. The grounds are located at the top of Rock Candy Mountain, providing awesome, expansive views of the White River valley below.
Further, the main building at Inspiration Point is majestic, patterned after castles of the Rhine River valley. It was built in the late 1920’s by Charles Mowers, a German-born architectural engineer who gifted the property to Phillips University in 1938.
These two factors make visiting Opera in the Ozarks at Inspiration Point a must for first time visitors, even if there are no performances to attend!
Enjoy a professional opera experience at an iconic, Ozarks location, then it’s just a short drive back to your comfy accommodations at 5 Ojo. Fantastic!
