The Boston Opera House is a performing arts venue located at 539 Washington St. in Boston, Massachusetts. Originally built as a movie palace, it opened on October 29, 1928 and was rededicated in 1980 as a home for the Opera Company of Boston. Completely restored in 2004, the theater currently serves as the home of the Boston Ballet and also presents touring Broadway shows.HistoryThe Boston Opera House was originally built as the B.F. Keith Memorial Theatre, a lavish movie theater in the Keith-Albee chain, The Keith's Memorial was designed by the prominent theater architect Thomas W. Lamb in one of his most elaborate designs. The theater was dedicated to the vaudeville pioneer B.F. Keith and opened October 29, 1928 presenting first run films along with live vaudeville. By 1929 the theater, now operated by RKO Theatres and called RKO Keith's, had converted to showing only films and remained a leading Boston movie showcase through the 1950s.In 1965 the Sack Theaters company acquired the theater and renamed it the Savoy Theater. Sack later added a second smaller cinema in the theater's stage space, separated from the original auditorium by a masonry wall built across the proscenium.In 1980, after closing as a movie house, the theater became the home of opera director Sarah Caldwell's Opera Company of Boston and was renamed the Boston Opera House. The theater was acquired and renovated by the opera company with the help of Boston arts patron Susan Timken. After a decade of innovative opera productions at the house, Caldwell's company collapsed due to financial troubles in 1991. Having previously produced opera since 1958 in rented theaters, the company was not financially prepared to cope with the substantial costs of upkeep for the large theater which had previously been poorly maintained for decades. The company's failure left the theater dark and without funds to maintain it.

The interior of Cure Lounge was designed by John Stefanon of JFS Design Studio, Inc. The design aesthetics of Cure Lounge were drawn from a strong focus on history and mood. Originally designed to be the ladies lounge and orchestra area to the theater this uniquely beautiful space called for an understated elegance evocative of the period. Finished with a “Victorian Chic” design, the glamorized cues of Cure Lounge are evident from the moment you step in. Bold dramatic statements of shapes and patterns with a subtle, sophisticated color palette, balance and juxtapose each other in Jing-Jang form to bring a unique vibe to this historical Boston gem. Cure Lounge’s mood is enhanced within as you transition from the Main Lounge to the Back Lounge and a more surreal aesthetic introduces what use to be the orchestra pit area. The inspiration of “moths drawn to a flame” called for dim lighting and elements were selected to transport patrons into a warm summer night on the streets of Shanghai – or a far away fantasy location. Both lounges were created to bring an exciting movement within time and fantasy.

One of the landmarks on Boston's Freedom Trail, it is the oldest surviving public building in Boston, and now serves as a history museum operated by the Bostonian Society. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960 and a Boston Landmark by the Boston Landmarks Commission in 1994.HistoryThe Massachusetts Town House: seat of colony government 1713–1776Today's brick Old State House was built in 1712–13, possibly designed by Robert Twelves; the previous building, the wooden Town House of 1657, had burned in the fire of 1711. A notable feature was the pair of seven-foot tall wooden figures depicting a lion and unicorn, symbols of the British monarchy.The building housed a Merchant's Exchange on the first floor and warehouses in the basement. On the second floor, the east side contained the Council Chamber of the Royal Governor while the west end of the second floor contained chambers for the Courts of Suffolk County and the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. The central portion contained the chambers for the elected Massachusetts Assembly. This chamber is notable for including public galleries, the first known example of such a feature being included in a chamber for elected officials in the English-speaking world.
老州议会大厦（Old State House）是美国波士顿的一座古老的红砖建筑，兴建于1712-1713年，1711年第一座木质的市政厅（建于1657年）毁于火灾之后。老州议会大厦位于华盛顿街（Washington Street）和州街（State Street）的路口。这是波士顿最古老的公共建筑，也是自由之路的一站。历史1776年7月18日，在老州议会大厦的东侧阳台，独立宣言首次向欢腾的人群宣读。当时，大陆军已经将英国军队赶出波士顿。美国革命后，这座建筑用作马萨诸塞州政府，直到1798年迁入今天的马萨诸塞州议会大厦。从1830年至1841年，这座建筑一度成为波士顿市政厅，后来改为商业用途。 1976年7月11日，英国女王伊丽莎白二世参加美国二百周年纪念庆祝活动，参观了老州议会大厦。现状今天，波士顿金融区的高层建筑包围了老州议会大厦，但是沿州街仍能看到港口。老州议会大厦已成为一个主要的公共交通连接点，并且自1904年起，是地铁蓝线和橙线的州街站上盖。大厦内由波士顿人协会（The Bostonian Society）管理，设有博物馆。老州议会大厦是一个热门的婚礼场所，仪式通常是在东侧毗邻的阳台房间举行，夫妇常在仪式之后再阳台上拍照。参考文献 Old State House History.

旧マサチューセッツ州会議事堂（きゅうマサチューセッツしゅうかいぎじどう、英：）は、アメリカ合衆国マサチューセッツ州ボストンにある、同州の旧議事堂である。ワシントン・ストリートとステート・ストリートの交差点に位置する。1713年に建築され、ボストンで最も歴史のある公共の建物であり、また新世界の中で選挙により選ばれた議会の議事堂としても初めてのものである。現在、ボストンの歴史学協会であるボストニアン・ソサエティが運営している。ボストンのウォーキングルート、フリーダムトレイルが通る観光スポットの一つとなっている。建築現在のブロック造りの旧州議事堂は、1712年から1713年にかけて建設されたもので、ロバート・トウェルヴズによって設計されたものではないかと考えられている。その前には1657年に建てられた木造の役場があったが、1711年に火事で焼けてしまった。旧州議事堂の建物には、何度か改築・修復工事が加えられている。1747年火事に遭った後、1748年に再建された。1830年、アイザイア・ロジャーズによる改築が行われた。1832年には再び火事で損傷し、1881年から1882年にかけてジョージ・A・クラフによって修復工事が行われた。1904年以降、地下鉄がこの建物の地下の一部を通っている。1907年にはジョセフ・エバレット・チャンドラーによって再び修復工事が行われた。1990年にはグッディ・クランシー・アンド・アソシエイツによって更なる修復工事が行われた。修復工事の際、地下鉄工事の時に取り付けられた支えのパッキン材がさびついており、そのために煉瓦の壁にひび割れが生じているのが分かった。歴史植民地時代～独立戦争もともと、この建物には1階に商人の取引所、地下室に倉庫が設けられていた。2階の東側には総督の会議室、西の端にはサフォーク郡裁判所及びマサチューセッツ邦最高裁判所の裁判官室が置かれていた。2階中央には選挙で選ばれたマサチューセッツ邦議会の議場が置かれた。この議場は、公衆の傍聴席があることで注目され、選挙された議員の議場に傍聴席が設けられた例としては、知られている限り初めてである。1761年、弁護士のジェイムズ・オーティスが、総督会議室で、援助令状（関税徴収に関する捜査協力令状）の発付に対し反駁する弁論を行った。オーティスは敗訴したものの、その弁論はアメリカ独立戦争へつながっていく一つの出来事となった。独立戦争中、印紙法会議がマサチューセッツ邦議会で結成された。1770年3月5日、5人の植民地人がイギリス兵によって殺されるボストン虐殺事件が、この建物の東側すぐの場所で起きた。1776年7月18日、アメリカ独立宣言が、トーマス・クラフツ大佐（自由の息子達の1人）によって、この建物の東側バルコニーから、沸き立つ群衆に対して読み上げられた。午後1時、まずクラフツが議場の中で立ち上がり、議員らに対して独立宣言書を読み上げた。そしてウィリアム・グリーンリーフ保安官がバルコニーからそれを読み上げようとしたが、声がかすれて出なかった。そこでクラフツが保安官の隣に立ち、力強い声で独立宣言書を読み上げた。その後、合図を受けて、フォートヒルの要塞から13発の大砲が鳴らされた。ドーチェスター・ネック、キャッスル、ナンタスケット、ポイント・オールダートンの要塞でも、同じように大砲を発射した。さらに、砲兵分遣隊が大砲を13回発射し、それに続いて二つの連隊が13の部隊から続けざまに13発を撃ち鳴らした。13発という数字は、この時独立したアメリカの邦（後の州）の数である。式典は、議場のメンバーらの軽食で締めくくられた。議長が次のものに対して乾杯し、列席者がこれを固く誓った。 アメリカ合衆国の繁栄と永続 アメリカ議会 ワシントン将軍及びアメリカ合衆国軍の成功 暴君と暴政の打倒 市民的・宗教的自由の普遍的な広がり 地球上のあらゆる場所にある合衆国の友 街の鐘が鳴らされ、皆が祝祭を喜び合った。その夜、イギリス国王の紋章やそれに類するマーク――ライオンと王冠、乳棒と乳鉢、心臓と王冠など――は、トーリー党のマークとともに取り払われた。
