After an extensive multi-million dollar restoration, Boston's landmark Opera House has re-emerged, after being shuttered for over a decade, as New England's finest and most historically significant performing arts venue.

The focus on the pivotal event in Boston history, coupled with the excitement generated by Disney's The Lion King as the inaugural production, cannot be underestimated.

The present day Opera House opened its doors on October 29, 1928, then named the B.F. Keith Memorial Theatre, built to honor "the father of vaudeville" by his business partner Edward Albee.

One year after its 1928 grand opening, the theatre suspended vaudeville performances which had declined in popularity, and became a home for motion pictures. It was in 1978, when the theatre became home to The Opera Company of Boston, that the name was changed to The Opera House.

Now this magnificent performing arts venue has been lovingly restored to its original grandeur and given back to the people of New England to enjoy for decades to come.
