Southern Wisconsin's Most Charming Theatre 381 E. Main St. Stoughton, WI 53589 [email protected] The historic Stoughton Opera House is located in Stoughton, WI just a few minutes south-east of Madison. The theater plays host to a wide variety of musical and theatrical performances throughout the season - rock, folk, classical, oddities, comedy...you name it. Known for sublime acoustics and an early 20th century aesthetic, don't pass on a chance to see a show or just pay a visit to the Stoughton Opera House. Richard Thompson will release his 20th Studio Album, Hippies, Thugs and Heroes on October 16, 2026 via New West Records. The 12-track set was produced by Thompson and James Frazee and recorded in Weehawken, New Jersey. It follows his acclaimed Ship to Shore, which the Associated Press called “a gem,” NPR Music described as “expertly constructed, absolutely bleak yet totally engaging trad-rock from the 75-year old master” and Uncut Magazine named one of the “Best Albums of 2024.” The influential singer-songwriter and virtuosic guitarist has been on a singular musical journey for over a half century, from his days in the ‘60s as a pioneer of British folk rock with Fairport Convention, to his seminal ‘70s duo work with his ex-wife Linda Thompson, to the exploratory, deeply emotional music of the solo career that has been his primary concern ever since. richardthompson-music.com BUY RICHARD THOMPSON TICKETS
