Historic Opera Theatre Glenns Ferry, IdahoBuilt in 1914, listed on the National Historic Register
The Gorby Opera House was built in 1914, originally for Vaudeville Stage Acts, and served the community of Glenns ferry for many years. Fireman's dances, railroad events, and bazaars all took place in the building. Because a mortuary was next door, the main hall was used for funerals. In later years, silent movies with organ and piano accompaniment were popular. Through the effort of community volunteers the Historic Opera Theatre reopened its doors June 4, 1944, for live stage productions. Many community and cultural events have taken place. The reopening of the Historic Opera Theatre has brought back feelings of opportunity, unity, community, and plain good ol' fashioned fun to Glenns Ferry and surrounding areas.
