February 7: “From Opera to Movies: Duluth’s Historic Theaters” From the 1868 birth of “theatre” in Duluth to the 2018 renovation of the NorShor, Duluth has had a long traditional of building fabulous theaters to showcase local and national talent. This presentation reaches beyond the architecture and introduces audiences to the civic leaders—and scoundrels—associated with them and explains how their demise was brought on by the advent of the movie house, including Duluth’s iconic NorShor Theatre.
