Omaha's Orpheum Theater, built in 1927. Ceiling as seen from my seat K-27. Proscenium at left. Leading edge of the Grand Tier on right.In a list of "highlights of my life" I would have to include the many performances I've seen here at the Orpheum Theater: Nutcracker, Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Man of La Mancha, Lion King, Mannheim Steamroller, Itzak Perlman, Riverdance, Diane Schuur -- to name a few.
