The entertainment at the Opera House ranged from dramatic plays to vaudeville. The playbill to the right lists both minstrel and vaudeville acts.

A.O. Rupert was the Musical Director of the Opera House, which even had its own March (see the 1899 music score below). A picture of Rupert's orchestra is shown below. In addition to being Musical Director of the Opera House, Mr. Rupert, pictured below, was also Fargo's City Auditor.

The Rupert's Orchestra is shown inthe photograph to the right. From left to right, the musicians were John Rupert (trumpet), E. R. Wright (trumpet), H.G, Jones (trombone), Chas. Homason (drums), A. O. Rupert (Director), C.G. Baernstein (piano), Herman Leusch (clarinet), and A.V. DuVall (clarinet).

Thanks to Mrs. Rita Moore for the photograph which identies the musicians.
