PABST THEATER
Milwaukee’s jewel box, The Pabst Theater, was built in 1895 by brewing magnate Captain Frederick Pabst, and was designed by architect Otto Strack in the tradition of the great European opera houses. Its opulent Baroque interior includes an Austrian crystal chandelier, a staircase crafted from white Italian Carrara marble, and a proscenium arch — highlighted in gold leaf — framing the stage.

At this National Historical Landmark -- Step back in time to see where Leonard Bernstein walked, where Heifetz and Caruso warmed up in the wings. Imagine Lunt and Fontanne, Helen Hayes and Katherine Hepburn gracing the dressing rooms, preparing for a great drama. And thrill at the thought of great jazz artists, chamber musicians, actors and dancers who take the stage now.
Today, The Pabst Theater is the centerpiece of Milwaukee’s downtown theater district...a magnificent example of architecture of another time and era that serves performers and audiences of the 21st century as it did at the turn of the 20th century.
