Shubert Theatre

The renovated Shubert Theatre was unveiled on October 10, 1996 at the annual meeting to Wang Center Trustees, Corporate Members, arts organizations and the media.

The first national tour of Rent premiered at The Shubert and generated sold-out crowds and nightly ovations.

Since then, The Shubert Theatre has evolved into a home for Boston arts organizations such as Boston Lyric Opera and World Music, as well as a venue for touring companies whose productions are more suited to the smaller scale of the theatre. Boston Lyric Opera's first two seasons at The Shubert were so successful that the company added an additional production for its 2000-2001 season.
