Been to it several times to see opera shows.
Wonderful! Though the benches can be a bit uncomfortable after a while.

I keep checking it for updates!!

I remember stepping in all the footprints in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre when I was younger, but where is the Egyptian Theatre?

It is located almost two and a half blocks East of the Chinese Theater at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and McCadden Place. This theater often gets lost in the hustle and bustle of Hollywood but it is a great little hidden gem. Definitely worth a visit.

We have a new Opera Hall here in Toronto, for our Canadian Opera Company.

It is not an old building, but it is "historic" for us as it is the first purpose built opera house in Canada! Before it the Opera Company had to use a regular concert hall.

i think instead of putting up ugly boxes in the suburbs, theater companies should use some of these abandoned theaters instead

The theater in the Michigan Building converted from a theater to a parking garage.

Interesting stuff here
