About
The Belle Mehus City Auditorium greeted its first crowd in January of 1914 and has been an important part of the community ever since, hosting everything from Italian operettas to screenings of "Birth of a Nation" to performances of the work of Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Brahms.
The building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was painstakingly renovated in the mid-1990s thanks to the combined efforts of city leaders, arts organizations, citizens, and the private sector.
The Belle was named after Belle Mehus, a piano teacher from Bismarck.
