"Ella at the Opera House" is a 1958 (see 1958 in music) live album by Ella Fitzgerald. The second half of the album highlights the Jazz at the Philharmonic Concerts, devised by Fitzgerald's manager Norman Granz, which featured the leading jazz players of the day in an onstage jam session, this time in Los Angeles.

This album is typical of Ella's concert repertoire in the mid 50's, singing swing standards, and songs referencing her recent 'Songbook' series, in this case, the Cole Porter and Rodgers and Hart songbooks. It is also interesting to marvel at Ella's consistency in timing these songs, that six months apart, she sings the first four songs of both concerts in exactly the same time.
