Verdi Hall
The term “opera house” in the United States was used rather loosely as opera houses had live and filmed entertainment that ran the gamut from Shakespeare plays to circus acts. But the Verdi Hall in Philadelphia’s Little Italy pictured here was dedicated to Italian-language opera for its formative years of 1905 to World War I before moving to movies. Ambitious in pre-Metropolitan Opera House Philly.
