 Gem of a theatre |
333 Madison Avenue Detroit, MI 48226 United States +1 313 963 9800 http://www.gemtheatre.com/cent... |
Located in the same building as the Gem Theatre, Century has its fair share of events to enthrall crowds. The stage is known to have hosted comedies, musicals and Broadway hits. Century Grille Restaurant is in the same building and it offers 'Dinner and Show' certificates and the Elwood Bar and Grill, located minutes away, holds similar packages. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Restored to Grandeur |
1526 Broadway Detroit, MI 48226 United States +1 313 961 3500 http://www.motopera.org/ |
Newly restored to its former splendor, the Detroit Opera House is an aged downtown landmark that now finds itself right in the middle of the action, bordered by the Theatre District, Comerica Park, and Greektown. The superb acoustics in the hall provide a prime venue for the Michigan Opera Theatre and for a variety of other performing arts productions, including plays, concerts and dance performances. In days gone by, it was a theatre, concert and movie house, the fifth-largest in the world when it opened in 1922. The frescoes, marble stairways, draperies and chandeliers from its glory days have been restored. The Opera House reopened in 1996 with a performance by Luciano Pavarotti. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Temple of grandeur |
500 Temple St Detroit, MI 48201 United States +1 313 832 7100 http://themasonic.com/ |
The largest Masonic Temple in the world, this ornate 14-story building opened in 1926. For decades its 5,000-seat, acoustically rich and intimate auditorium served as Detroit's choicest venue for concerts, opera and plays. Now that it has plenty of competition, the auditorium hosts only sporadic events. The impressive building has 1,037 rooms, including ten decorative period lodge rooms; a Scottish Rite Cathedral that seats 1,600 people and has rich ceiling carvings and colors; and a 17,500-square-foot drill hall with a floating floor laid atop felt cushions. It's a Detroit landmark. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Historic temple of dance |
350 Madison Ave Detroit, MI 48226 United States +1 313 963 2366 http://www.musichall.org/ |
Opened in 1928 as the Wilson Theatre, the Music Hall underwent a $6.5 million renovation in the mid-1990s. This historic venue is sometimes considered the dance capital of the midwestern United States. Though dance is the top attraction, the center's eclectic schedule includes musicals, opera, family shows and comedy acts, almost always national touring productions. It's ideally situated between the new stadiums and Greektown and, after decades of bravely going it all alone, now finds itself an integral part of a thriving theatre district. All of the 1,701 seats have great sight lines and wonderful acoustics. Review © 2007, Wcities |
