Description

Follow Galveston Unscripted on Spotify or Apple Podcasts! More history content on Visit Galveston!The Grand 1894 Opera House is a cultural hub in Galveston, Texas, serving as a beacon of hope for revitalizing downtown and historic theaters across the country. It has been home to some of the most prominent acts of the time, including plays, musicals, and concerts by artists such as Anna Pavlova, Ray Charles, and Willie Nelson. The Grand is the oldest continually operating opera house in the state of Texas, and its architecture and ornate decoration make it a striking example of Victorian theater architecture. Despite facing major challenges, such as the devastating 1900 storm, the community of Galveston has worked to restore and preserve the Grand as a live performing arts venue that speaks to the city's rich history and culture.Galveston Unscripted What is Galveston Unscripted?Follow Galveston Unscripted on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!
