Details |
Golden Opera House Company was incorporated on February 13, 1879 and raised monies to build an opera house. The building was completed in October 1879. Made of brick and stone, the two-storied building housed businesses on the first floor and a 500-person theater with stage and dressing rooms on the second. The building was both lighted and heated. A photograph of the stage curtain at the Opera House, which was decorated with advertisments form early Golden businesses, appeared in the June 11, 1959 edition of the Colorado Transcript on page 27. It is accompanied by a caption which reads, "View of the curtain in Golden's Opera House, once the only adequate place in town to present plays, musicals and other performances. The Opera House was located on the second story of the building now known as the Son Building on Washington avenue, in which doctors' and lawyers' offices are located." |
