The Show Must Go On: The Most Spectacular Theaters

Balboa Theater – San Diego, USA
The Balboa Theater has had a tumultuous history. It opened in 1924 as a movie and vaudeville theater, but was quickly closed and reopened again as a Spanish-language movie theater under the name “El Teatro Balboa.” During the WWII years, it was used as barracks for sailors, then after the war was over, it was chopped up into apartments and sold.
In 2002, the municipal government decided to save the building, and restored it to its former glory. Now, it’s a well-beloved public theater and performing arts space where you can see live music, theater, and movies.
