"The Boston Opera House, whose proper and more recent moniker is Citizens Bank Opera House, is a cream, red, and gold-leaf confection built in 1928 by theater architect Thomas W. Lamb to host feature films and live vaudeville performances. Now, inside this baroque theater with its massive marble columns, decorative paintings, ornamental plasterwork, and red brocade, audiences enjoy Broadway hits like The Lion King and Cats, as well as cultural presentations, concerts, and ballet performances by The Boston Ballet, which now calls the theater its home." - MATADOR_NETWORK
