Originally opened in 1928 as the B.F. Keith Memorial Theatre, it was designed as a lavish movie palace before transitioning to a performing arts venue.
In 2004, the Opera House reopened after a $54 million restoration, which preserved its original 1920s architectural grandeur.
Since 2009, the Boston Ballet has made the Opera House its permanent home, hosting numerous performances each year.
The grand chandelier in the main auditorium weighs over 2,500 pounds and is a stunning centerpiece of the theater's interior.
The building is an exquisite example of French and Italian Renaissance Revival architecture, showcasing intricate details and opulent designs.
In the 1980s, the theater faced potential demolition but was saved by preservationists who recognized its historical and cultural significance.
