The Opera House was built in the 1920’s for movies and plays. In the 1930’s and into the late 1940’s it was in operation as a movie theatre known as La Plaza Theatre. It was part of the B&F group of cinemas.
It is now known as the Opera House and is used as a concert venue. Little has changed in the building since it opened.

The Opera House is the most amazing club I’ve ever been in. It has a very special atmosphere and has hosted some of the most spectacular music events ever. From Nirvana to Rage against the Machine, the list goes on and on.
