Grand Opera House of the South
The Grand Opera House of the South certainly lives up to its name. The immaculately restored performance hall, built in 1901 from Louisiana cypress, pine and oak, once welcomed local Crowley residents as well as visitors passing through town by train. The attention to detail given to the Grand Opera House’s architecture makes it a destination unto itself, down to the hand-painted angel medallions that look down upon guests. Performances range from Louisiana Music Hall of Fame artists and Grammy winning Cajun and zydeco musicians, to family-oriented magical and theatrical performances. Behind-the-scenes tours are offered.
