Peabody Opera House Opening Night
"An Encore 77 Years in the Making," the grand reopening of the newly renovated Peabody Opera House in Downtown St. Louis, took place on Saturday, Oct. 1, 2011. The gala benefited the John L. Trotter Multiple Sclerosis Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine. Originally opened in 1934 as the Kiel Opera House, the facility was closed for more than 20 years and has now been restored to its original look.
