[[File:Lexington Opera House (1).jpg|thumb|249x249px|Lexington Opera House.]] The '''Lexington Opera House''' is a theatre located at 401 West Short Street in downtown [[Lexington, Kentucky]]. Built in 1886, the Opera House replaced the former theatre, located on the corner of Main and Broadway, after fire destroyed it in January 1886. The new Opera House was designed by the renowned architect Oscar Cobb and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its historical and architectural significance. It is currently owned and operated by the Lexington Center Corporation, and it hosts ballets, opera, children's productions, family shows, comedy, music and professional national Broadway tours. The Lexington Opera House is one of 14 theatres in the country built before 1900 with less than 1,000 seats that is still in operation as a live performance venue. ==References== * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexington_Opera_House Lexington Opera House.
