Step inside the Orpheum Theatre and you'll feel like you've been transported to another continent. Built in 1926 as a vaudeville and movie palace, its interior is a stunning blend of Moorish and Spanish-Gothic styles. Look up at the ornate ceiling and imagine the acoustics of a 2,300-seat house filled with music.

Originally known as the Pantages Theatre, it's now one of the city's most beloved Broadway houses. From its French-cathedral-inspired architecture to its status as a designated landmark, the Orpheum has been a sanctuary for performing arts since the roaring twenties.
