Historically Michigan Opera Theatre's home is Detroit's fifth opera house. Located on the corners of Broadway and Madison at Grand Circus Park, the theater was originally opened January 12, 1922, as the Capitol Theater. At the time of its gala premiere, the 4,250-seat theater claimed to be the fifth largest in the world. The theater was the first in a series of palatial vaudeville and moving picture houses built in the Grand Circus Park area in the 1920s. Designed by renowned Detroit architect C. Howard Crane, whose genius for theater design took him to cities around the nation, the building was constructed with superb acoustics and in the style of the grand European opera houses. Crane also designed such Detroit landmarks as the Fox Theater, State Theater, and Orchestra Hall.

Beautiful opera productions, top notch singers especially the resident opera chorus - better than the MET! (really! - listen to both and you'll see what I mean!)
Our very own jewel, we are so lucky to have such a world class opera house hosting some of the top opera and dance performances, as well as special events. We are blessed.
The Detroit Opera house is one of the most beautiful building in michigan, probably the united states it's houses great entertainment and the opera's that perform there are seccond to none! everyone should experience a chance to visit and see the Detroit Opera House!
Detroit Opera Theatre is exceptional not only in operatic productions but teaching the beauty of music to school age children throughout the Metro Detroit area. Work shops and opportunities for the up and coming young artists is deserving of a million Bravos!
The remarkably beautiful hall not only creates some of the most incredible Operatic, Dance, and Musical Theatre performances of the region, but serves as a catalyst for Downtown and Regional Cooperation and Growth to this day.
