Opera House Being Torn Down, 1922

Opera House Being Torn Down, 1922
The type of entertainment offered at the Euclid Avenue Opera House was considered to belong to the category of "legitimate" theater, appealing to an educated and well-off audience. By the time demolition began on 3 April 1922, Opera House managers had offered the public productions such as Gilbert & Sullivan's Pinafore in 1879, Hamlet in 1875, Uncle Tom's Cabin in 1884, Julius Caesar in 1889, and Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac in the 1890s. In 1893, the Opera House lived up to its name by presenting From Moses to McKisson; an original Opera by W. R. Rose. | Source: Cleveland Memory Project, Cleveland State University Library Special Collections
