Postcards of opera houses,
about 1900-1910
Color lithographs on card stock
Around 1900, opera was both high art and popular art. There were opera houses throughout Europe and the Americas, and itinerant troupes brought productions to cities too small to support a company on their own. Opera houses were major landmarks, and the theaters often appeared on postcards, sometimes with a fancily dressed crowd heading to a show. These cards show just a few: Berlin, New York, and even Boston. Yes, Boston once had a dedicated opera house. It stood at the corner of Huntington Avenue and Opera Place. just a few blocks from the MFA. Opera Place is still there, but the building was torn down in 1958.
