The 1990s restoration is what saved this place and then some - it returned the 2,700-seat hall to its original 1922 grandeur while quietly modernizing everything behind the curtain. The interior is the draw: ornate plasterwork, gilded detailing, and a grand proscenium stage big enough to stage full-scale opera and ballet without flinching. It feels like an occasion the moment you walk in.
It's home to Michigan Opera Theatre, whose season runs fall through spring, and when the opera calendar leaves room the house also brings in Broadway touring shows and special performances. So even if opera isn't your usual speed, there's a good chance something on the schedule catches you. The downtown location has ridden Detroit's revival, so the surrounding blocks have plenty to do before or after.
Get there for an opera if you can - this is the room built for it - and dress like it's a night out, because it is. Browse Detroit Opera House events on Evil Tickets and secure your seats.
