Welcome to the OFFICIAL website for the Boston Opera House, New England’s premier theater for live entertainment. The roots of that status are imbedded in the theatre's history, and we invite you to learn more About The Boston Opera House and our landmark theater’s auspicious beginnings and past, as well as our very active Calendar of Boston cultural and entertainment events.

We stress that this is the OFFICIAL website for the Boston Opera House. The website at bostonoperahouse.com is actually controlled by an unaffiliated ticket service that is using the domain name without permission. DON’T BE FOOLED! Buy your tickets through the links we’ve provided to authorized outlets in this official Boston Opera House website to avoid paying large surcharges.

The Boston Opera House first opened in 1928 as the B. F. Keith Memorial Theatre. It was commissioned by Keith’s collaborator Edward Albee as a tribute to his late partner and friend Benjamin Franklin Keith, the originator and leading impresario of refined vaudeville entertainment that flourished in North America from the late 1800s until the 1930s. Thomas White Lamb, the most accomplished theater architect of his day, was hired to bring all of his experience and skills to bear with a mandate to “spare no expense” in tribute to Keith. Since a full $50 million restoration was completed in 2004, the results of Lamb’s genius and the work of the world’s leading craftsmen past and present are here in the Boston Opera House for you to enjoy – regal surroundings, clear and proximate sightlines and near-perfect acoustics. Every seat in the house is a good seat.

This is the first edition of our new website. We will be adding new information and user functions regularly, and we invite your comments on ways to improve the content. Thank you, and we’ll see you soon at the Boston Opera House.
