Discover the Iconic Citizens Bank Opera House
Steeped in rich history and architectural grandeur, the Citizens Bank Opera House in Boston, Massachusetts, stands as one of the city’s most treasured cultural landmarks. Originally opened in 1928 as the B.F. Keith Memorial Theatre, the venue was designed by Thomas W. Lamb, one of the 20th century’s foremost theater architects.
