Orpheum Theater, Historic performing arts center in downtown Omaha, US
The Orpheum Theater is a performing arts venue in downtown Omaha with a main hall seating approximately 2,600 people. The building features detailed architectural decorations, spacious lobbies for gathering, and additional spaces designed for various types of performances and events.
The building was constructed in 1927 as part of a larger bank building complex and initially operated as a movie theater. Over the decades it transformed into one of Nebraska's major venues for live performance and cultural events.
The theater hosts Broadway shows, concerts, and dance performances that bring diverse audiences together for shared artistic experiences. The venue serves as a gathering place where the community comes to watch live performances and feel connected through art.
The venue sits in the downtown area on 16th Street and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can book tickets and make reservations online or at the box office, and all payments are processed without cash.
The hall still displays its original decorative details from the 1920s, carefully preserved over the decades. These historical elements work alongside modern technical systems that allow contemporary performances to happen in this classic space.
