Detroit Opera House - a photo on Flickriver

This is what performers see when on stage at the Detroit Opera House. 2700 people looking at you!

The Detroit Opera House is an ornate theater located in Downtown Detroit, Michigan. The 2,700-seat venue is the home of productions of the Michigan Opera Theater and a variety of other events. The theater was originally designed by C. Howard Crane, who created other prominent theaters in Detroit including The Fillmore Detroit, the Fox Theater and the Detroit Symphony's Orchestra Hall. It opened on January 22, 1922. The building underwent an extensive restoration which took place in the 1990s. It reopened in 1996.

Over the years, the theater has gone through several name changes, being:

Capitol Theater (1922–1929)
Paramount Theater (1929–1934)
Broadway Capitol Theater (1934–1960s)
Grand Circus Theater (1960s–1985)

My thanks go out to Gary the Longelistener, who works here, and gave me a spectacular tour of the place from stage to roof.
