Description
If you're into opera or classical music, this is the perfect Silicon Valley setting to enjoy performances. Originally built as a grand movie palace, this remarkable theater is a splendid place to view performances by Opera San Jose and Symphony Silicon Valley. It also often shows old movies, with a 1927 Wurlitzer pipe organ getting audiences into a mood for yesteryear between showings. Opera San Jose puts on four operas every season, and Symphony Silicon Valley also uses the theater for performances of the great masters of music.
