Orpheum Theatre Tickets

The Orpheum Theatre located at 1 Hamilton Place in Boston is a historic theater built in 1852. Called the Boston Music Hall, it was the Boston Symphony Orchestra's first home. In 1905, it was converted into a vaudeville theater and renamed Empire Theatre. Under new management the next year, it was renamed the Orpheus. Once again, the Orpheus Theatre venue found itself under new management in 1910. At that time, the theater was remodeled to include its magnificent, illuminated, golden glass proscenium arch. In 1965, a policy excluding first-run showings for downtown theaters caused the theater to struggle due to too much competition with surrounding theaters. It closed in 1972 and reopened as the Aquarius, a live concert hall. The legendary James Brown performed the first show. In 1974, management returned to the name Orpheum Theatre. Notable performances through the years include

The Police

,

Aerosmith

and the popular band,
