Boston Opera House (restored movie palace)

The Boston Opera House occupies a restored 1928 movie palace originally built for vaudeville and later film showings; today it functions as a major downtown performing arts venue for touring Broadway productions and concerts. The building's lavish interior decoration and restored auditorium are cited as examples of early 20th-century theatrical design. The Opera House is a key landmark in Boston's Theatre District and regularly appears on performance and event schedules.
