The BAM Howard Gilman Opera House makes a stunning first impression on any audience. Designed and built at the turn of the 20th century by architects Herts and Tallant (who were also responsible for the Lyceum and New Amsterdam Theatres), this elegant performance venue has hosted rentals by some of the world's most prestigious artists, including Adele, Rufus Wainwright, Sarah Silverman, New York City Opera, American Ballet Theatre, and Feist.
