Bronx Opera House, Historic theater building in South Bronx, United States
The Bronx Opera House stands as a three-story structure featuring Italian Renaissance design elements with a rectangular proscenium framed by Corinthian columns and ornate murals.
George M. Cohan and Sam Harris commissioned architect George Keister to design this entertainment venue, which opened its doors on August 30, 1913 with 'Fine Feathers'.
The theater hosted performances by Harry Houdini, the Marx Brothers, John and Lionel Barrymore during its golden age as part of the Subway Circuit.
The building now operates as the Opera House Hotel, offering 78 rooms decorated with vintage newspaper articles and maintaining much of its original architectural features.
The structure contains one of the few unaltered legitimate stages remaining in the Bronx, with original dimensions of 39 feet deep and 60 feet to the loft.
