Grand 1894 Opera HouseDescriptionThe Grand has a very particular place in the history of the Galveston community and in the lives of many of the residents. It survived the storms of 1900 and 1915, and Hurricanes Carla and Alicia, as well as years of disregard at different times during its history. Of these events, the supreme danger to its survival was the 1900 storm, and it remains evidence to the determination of the people of Galveston that The Grand was rapidly repaired and reopened.
The Grand is one of the few remaining theatres of its period in Texas and is marked in the National Register of Historic Places. As subsequent recognition of its importance to the citizens of Texas, in 1993 the 73rd Texas Legislature declared The Grand "The Official Opera House of Texas."
Past seasons have involved different novelty productions like dance troupe, The Pirates of Penzance (opera), a concert by famous singer, Johnny Mathis, and an fantastic version of Beauty and the Beast.
Due to the prevision and generosity of several generations of Galvestonians, The Grand remains today an important landmark of the past and an important part of the future.
