I'm currently in the Pacific Opera Victoria's production of the magic flute (not singing) which is really cool but doesn't allow much time for building. Oh well I've got something in the works just you wait.
Every year the staging of an opera is organised in the square in front of this castle. This is one of the side walls of the castle in relation to the front of the castle which is used as the actual backdrop to the opera. Of course, the castle is "dressed" in accordance with the opera being staged.
For more information one can visit the following site.
There's also a video link in relation to the Festival.

"The Opera House was built in 1909 by U.S. Martin, who served as Shepherdstown's mayor. Within that same year, it was sold to the Musser family who installed one of the earliest motion picture projectors. The Opera House ran nightly, often showing as many as three different films each week. In 1928 the Opera House became the first motion picture theatre in West Virginia with sound, enabling it to show the newfangled "talkies."
The Mussers closed the Opera House in 1956, and it sat dark and silent until it was purchased by Pam and Rusty Berry. After an extensive renovation following the Department of the Interior guidelines for the restoration of historic structures, the Berrys reopened the Opera House in February of 1992 and began showing American independent and foreign films. In 2004 they added new lighting and sound systems to accommodate live musical and theatrical performances onstage."
