The Capitol Theatre, home of Ballet West, Utah Opera and the Broadway Across America series is an architectural gem that seats almost 1,900 theatre goers.
If you get a chance to see a live performance at the Capitol Theatre, I’d definitely recommend it.
Built between 1900 and 1910, the Capitol Theatre is one of the older buildings downtown. The inside has been re-done in a way that has tastefully modernized it and left its historic authenticity intact.
Capitol Theatre also hosts touring Broadway plays and other events sponsored by outside promoters are also performed at the theater.
When “Les Miserables,” “Phantom of the Opera,” “Annie”,and other road-show spectacles come through town, the Capitol Theatre is where they perform.
Opening nights are an event; though in the way of dress, you’ll see everything from furs to jeans.
Located in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City, this historic landmark also hosts world class Broadway productions and community arts education programs.
The building began as the Orpheum Theatre, and when completed in 1913 was recognized as an architectural gem featuring some of the “highest standard acts and greatest stars of the stage.”
