Gerald A. DeLuca commented about Empire Theatre on Sep 1, 2016 at 1:49 pm

Incorrect theatre! In 1918, the Empire was at 368 Westminster Street, listed on CT as the Bijou (2nd Bijou). There were about four different “Empire” locations in downtown Providence over the decades. This Empire here was the former Low’s and Keith’s.

I went to “Il ritorno di Ulisse in patria” there a few months ago as part of an early opera festival featuring works of Monteverdi.

A perfect permanent house for a Boston opera company, something sorely needed.
