That’s why we’re shining our local spotlight on The Springer Opera House! Never been? Want to learn more about upcoming shows? Here’s all you need to know!
What is The Springer Opera House?
Since its opening in early 1871, the Springer Opera House has been a huge draw in Columbus and Phenix City. Founded by Francis Joseph Springer, it was a hot spot for speechmakers big performers. Even President Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke there!
Though its business came to a halt in 1929, due in part to film and the Great Depression, it enjoyed a revival starting in 1965, thanks to a remodel. It also has a community to be grateful for, as local residents were the ones who kept the Springer Opera House from being destroyed completely. Now, it’s thriving!
