Piper’s Opera House Virginia City, Nevada Road Trip Vlog 21

Postby stillrobertpaulsen » Fri Dec 15, 2017 2:17 pm

This is the first of three videos of our exploration of historic Virginia City in Nevada! In this episode, we visit Piper's Opera House. We had no idea how many famous people had visited Virginia City and how many had performed at the Opera House. Lilli Langtry, Al Jolson, John Phillip Sousa, Maude Adams, Mark Twain (lectured at the first Opera House but Hal Holbrook performed as Mark Twain a century later at the current one), and many others. Enjoy our journey back in time!
