"...it became the Opera House, no doubt in tribute to Boston's Opera House..." is correct. In 1978 Sarah Caldwell's struggling Opera Company of Boston was performing in the Orpheum, squeezed in between rock concerts. In the fall of 1978 or maybe early 1979, I think, they got access to the "Savoy" which I think Sack Cinemas had closed by then. I believe they intended to make it their home and thus the renaming to The Opera House. I worked on productions that first season in the theater. They were in there for few seasons. I'm not sure if the failing of the Opera company or the need for major renovations or both resulted in the theater being abandoned.
I've heard that it is in really bad shape now.
