| 词条 | Bent's Opera House |
| 释义 |
For many decades, Bent's Opera House was a prominent venue in Medina for concerts, plays, shows, commencements, elections, and other public functions. P. T. Barnum and William "Buffalo Bill" Cody[2][3] were among the hundreds of touring performers who brought their talents to the Bent's stage. As motion pictures and other forms of entertainment became popular in the twentieth century, the Opera House fell into disuse. Yet its legacy was not completely forgotten, as Bent's Hall was included as a contributing property to Medina's Main Street Historic District, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. In 2010, Bank of America, the building's last commercial owner, donated the Bent's Hall property to the Orleans Renaissance Group, Inc. (ORG), a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to bringing arts and cultural programs to the greater Medina community.[4] Leaders of ORG hope to restore the Opera House to its former glory as a functioning performance venue. ORG has since sold Bent's Opera House to Talis Equity.[5] CEO Roger Hungerford is currently renovating and updating the building to include a restaurant, boutique hotel, and a wedding/event venue space.[6] In 2012, Bent's Opera House was included on the Preservation League of New York State's annual "Seven to Save" list. This list highlights "valued historic resources [that] are in danger of disappearing."[7] References1. ^{{cite web |last=Waldo |first=Russell |title=Medina's Old Hitching Post Days-May 19, 1954 |url=http://www.eggstreet.org/Bent's%20History.pdf |format=PDF |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120524095909/http://www.eggstreet.org/Bent%27s%20History.pdf |archivedate=May 24, 2012 |df= }} 2. ^{{Cite news|url=http://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/lccn/sn83031556/1936-02-06/ed-1/seq-6/|title=News Events of Other Days|last=|first=|date=6 Feb 1936|work=The Medina Tribune|access-date=16 Jan 2019}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=http://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/lccn/sn83031556/1877-02-08/ed-1/seq-2/|title=Bent's Opera House Buffalo Bill Combination|last=|first=|date=8 Feb 1877|work=The Medina Tribune|access-date=16 Jan 2019}} 4. ^{{cite news |last=Kropf |first=Virginia |title=Historic Medina opera donated to local group |url=http://thedailynewsonline.com/news/article_b630c1e6-083e-5f7c-9b53-dab2b5aa6850.html?mode=story |archive-url=https://archive.is/20130204031509/http://thedailynewsonline.com/news/article_b630c1e6-083e-5f7c-9b53-dab2b5aa6850.html?mode=story |dead-url=yes |archive-date=February 4, 2013 |newspaper=Batavia Daily News |date=November 24, 2009 }} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=https://orleanshub.com/list-of-7-endangered-sites-in-ny-includes-historic-opera-houses/|title=List of 7 endangered sites in NY includes historic opera houses|last=|first=|date=9 April 2018|website=Orleans Hub|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=16 Jan 2019}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=https://orleanshub.com/medina-lions-club-hears-about-ambitious-projects-at-bents-old-medina-high-school/|title=Medina Lions Club hears about ambitious projects at Bent's, old Medina High School.|last=|first=|date=10 Nov 2017|website=Orleans Hub|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=16 Jan 2019}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.preservenys.org/seven-2012/seven-05.html |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2012-12-06 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130311201757/http://www.preservenys.org/seven-2012/seven-05.html |archivedate=2013-03-11 |df= }} External links
