Take in an intimate performance at this 2,700-seat theater soon.

Today, the opera house is a fine arts venue that hosts famed Broadway productions plus musical artists, comedians, speakers and more. This is a major rip off, so do your homework before you buy. The Detroit Opera House was once one of the largest theaters in the world when it opened as a vaudeville and movie house in 1922. I would not recommend this to anyone, even my worst enemy. It was torturous to have to sit through 3 hours of absolute misery! We have been to several different kinds of performances and have never, ever felt this bad. Same dance routines with different costumes and a different propaganda story repeated a dozen times. The dancing itself was uninspiring, felt like a low level Gymnastics training session with dancers in costumes while antient Chinese music piped in. The Shen Yun ad features exquisite 3D computer generated images that are projected onto a screen in the background, where the dancers disappear into trapdoors and then appear in cartoon form on the screen. However, the venue - Detroit Opera House was outstanding, which has been restored to its old glory. We have seen better performance at my daughters high school drama and dance competitions. I fell for the deceptive marketing and we decided to buys two tickets for our 26th Wedding Anniversary and forked over $400 for two balcony tickets. I am really not into writing reviews, but I strongly feel it is my civic duty to warn people.
