More information on Orpheum Theater

Having been slowly restored over the past 20 years, the Orpheum is now an astonishingly rich architectural treasure from the 1920s, with its statues, carved woodwork, velvet curtains and opulent lobby. This is the home of Opera Memphis, the Symphony Orchestra and the Ballet. It is also the venue for traveling Broadway musicals such as "Cats" and "The Phantom of the Opera". In the summer, the Orpheum shows classic movies like "Casablanca", along with trivia contests and sing-alongs—fun for the whole family.
