Join us in celebrating Maria Machuca, a beloved member of the Wheeler Opera House family, and currently the longest-standing Wheeler employee! 

Maria’s journey with the Wheeler began in 2004, and since then, she has been an integral part of the Wheeler team. Her dedication, passion, and warm personality have made her a favorite among the staff. ⁠

Her fondest memory is of the celebration marking her five-year tenure here. She still cherishes the glass award she received from the City of Aspen on that occasion! ⁠Her favorite part of the Wheeler is looking at Aspen Mountain from the balcony and bar lobby and walking up and down the beautiful historic staircase.⁠

Maria’s commitment to maintaining the beauty and cleanliness of the Wheeler Opera House has been invaluable. She works behind the scenes is absolutely crucial to the smooth operations of our events and the comfort of our guest. ⁠

Thank you for all your years of service, Maria!
