Hudson Opera House
The Hudson Opera House http://hudsonoperahouse.org/ is located in Hudson, New York. The building offers “a year-round schedule of arts and cultural programming in the 1855 former Hudson City Hall which contains New York State's oldest surviving theatre”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hudsonoperahouse.org/index.html )〕 the 'Hudson Opera House'.
==History==
In 1855, the building was constructed for its original purpose, the town’s first city hall. As the town hall it was home to a number of things including the Franklin Library, and the First National Bank of Hudson. It also was used as a lecture hall and as an art gallery. Around 1880 many American town halls were changing their names to “Opera House” to follow the fashion of the Paris Opera house that had been recently constructed. It is due to this trend that the Hudson Opera House got its name. Despite changing its name to Hudson Opera House, the town still used it as their town hall and post office. It was large enough to continue doing it’s federal duties while holding different events such as “traveling lecture presentations and musical and theatrical events to local functions like dances, cotillions, poultry shows and graduations” 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hudsonoperahouse.org/index.html )〕 (Hudson Opera House). Also the upstairs of the opera house was a “common ground where white and black citizens could meet” 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.abouttown.us/dutchess/articles/spring05/opera.shtml )〕 (Rieser, 2005).
In 1962, after the town hall had been relocated up the street, the Hudson Opera House became a local Moose Lodge but was then sold to an out of town developer. Afterwards the building was left abandoned where it began to decay. A group of concerned citizens decided to gather together and try to renovate the historical building and in 1992 they formed the “Hudson Opera House, Inc.” which is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the Hudson Opera House back to full community use. In 1996 the Hudson Opera House, Inc. began an “Open the Door campaign” which has “raised the money to open the first restored room in the building, the West Room, in December 1997” 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hudsonoperahouse.org/index.html )〕 (Hudson Opera House). Since that time the group has raised enough money to restore five other rooms on the first floor that now are host to numerous different cultural events.
