The Lyric Opera House of BaltimoreOn the evening of October 31,1894, Emil Paur led the Boston Symphony Orchestra into the prelude to Die Meistersinger von Nurenberg. It was the opening number of the gala concert celebrating Baltimore's new "Music Hall." Nellie Melba was to crown the evening with her rendition of Handel's "Sweet Bird" aria. Mr. T. Henry Randall, architect for the building joined the throngs backstage to be congratulated by Madame Melba on the hall's perfect acoustics. Over a century later, the Lyric Opera House of Baltimore continues to be one of the Nation's most treasured opera houses. Opera New Jersey performs at the Lyric opera House of Baltimore during our Winter Season.
