Bent's Opera House, Historic opera house in Medina, United States
The three-story sandstone building spans 20,000 square feet and features an opera house, boutique hotel, and Harvest Restaurant at 444 Main Street.
Don Carlos Bent constructed this entertainment venue in 1865, during the Civil War, making it one of the oldest surviving theaters in the United States.
Famous figures including P.T. Barnum, Buffalo Bill Cody, and Frederick Douglass performed at this central gathering space for community events until the 1930s.
The venue currently functions as an event space, hosting live piano music on Fridays, jazz nights, movie screenings, and special dining experiences.
Despite its name and long history as an entertainment venue, this building never actually hosted an opera performance throughout its existence.
