Boston Opera House, Performing arts center in Boston, United States.
The Boston Opera House features ornate Renaissance-style architecture with detailed moldings, chandeliers, and decorative paintings throughout its 100,000-square-foot interior space.
Architect Thomas W. Lamb designed this theater in 1928, and after experiencing decline, the venue underwent substantial restoration before reopening its doors in 1980.
The 2,600-seat theater presents a mix of performances including Broadway shows, classical ballet productions, musical concerts, and traditional opera performances.
The central location near public transportation stations and multiple parking facilities makes the venue accessible for visitors attending evening performances.
