Calumet Theatre |
|
|
 The
Calumet Theatre is the oldest
municipally-built and owned
opera house in the country.
Since its opening in 1900, at
the peak of the copper boom, it
has operated continuously in one
form or another. Initially
offering the biggest names in
entertainment, it became a movie
house in the early days of
movies then transitioned through
years as a community theater
and, finally, a venue for
professional artistic
performances.
Substantially restored, the
Calumet Theatre offers guided
and self tours of the historic
building as well as performances
by local, regional and
nationally known artists.
Visitors can walk the same stage
trod by Sarah Bernhardt, Douglas
Fairbanks Sr., John Philip Sousa
and many other big names from
1900. They can see the old
dressing rooms and experience
the architecture from an era
when acoustics were designed in
rather than added on. |
