Citizens Bank Opera House Tickets and Seating Charts - Boston, MA

Designed in both Italian and French styles, Boston's Citizens Bank Opera House debuted in 1928 as the B.F. Keith Memorial Theatre, a top venue on the vaudeville circuit. In the mid-1960s, new owners restored the theater and renamed it Savoy Theatre, and only a few years later a second auditorium was added, creating Savoy 1 and 2. The Opera Company of Boston acquired the building in 1979, making it the Boston Opera House. In 2004, it underwent a $54 million restoration to preserve the historic, extravagant beauty of the venue. Today, the Massachusetts theater is home to the Boston Ballet and Broadway Across America, and audiences can still behold the grand lobby’s silk-covered walls and marble columns.

Citizens Bank Opera House is accessible via I-90 (Exit 24). Plenty of parking can be found at one of the many nearby parking garages, including Lafayette Parking Garage, Millennium Place Garage at Ritz-Carlton, Boston Common Garage and 75 State Street Garage. Guests can also take the MBTA to the theater. The closest stations are Chinatown (Orange Line), Park Street (Red Line) and Boylston (Green Line).
