Millett Opera House, Opera house in downtown Austin, United States.
The Millett Opera House features Victorian architecture with a grand auditorium space that accommodates up to 800 guests under high ceilings and ornate details.
Built in 1871 by Captain Charles Millett, the opera house served as a central entertainment venue in Austin until the emergence of electric theaters in 1896.
The venue hosted renowned performer Edwin Booth and numerous theatrical productions, contributing to the development of performing arts in nineteenth-century Texas.
The building, now maintained by a nonprofit foundation, offers guided tours and serves as a location for weddings and community events in central Austin.
Local legend tells of Priscilla, an actress who fell from the catwalk, with visitors reporting temperature changes and moving curtains in the building.
