the theatre was named galli curci because the builder was in love with her and he had hopes that if he would build a preforming space, she would come and preform. which she did. she preformed there on two different occassions as far as i know. once opening night in 1922 and the other time in the 1930’s.
she did have a large estate in highmount, new york. where she would sing on her balcony and her beautiful voice could be heard echoing through the mountains for miles.
the theatre was closed and turned into an antique store in the early 80’s, and then closed again in feb 2005. i should know…i was the former owner!
