Something that I love about the War Memorial Opera House is that there is so many performances to see here with over sixty different performances of nine operas throughout the year. Originally built as a memorial to the soldiers who died in World War 1, in 1927 for 4 million dollars, this gorgeous structure has been turned into one of the most beloved opera houses anywhere.
It's scheduled every Monday (except holidays) and leaves from the Grove Street Entrance of Davies Symphony Hall. If you would love to take a look at the inside of the War Memorial Opera House, but don't have tickets to a show, you can grab a spot on their Performing Arts Tour.
