Palladium Theater
.
253 5th Ave N,
St. Petersburg, FL 33701
Currently, the home of St. Pete‘s opera co. We went there for L’italiana in Algeri / The Italian Girl in Algiers.
Be aware, the ticket, and their office is at Opera Central. 2145 1st Ave S. St. Petersburg, FL 33712.
This building is historical, only a few steps away from the waterfront area. In comparison, Sarasota Opera House is better.
There was a famous disco / event hall in New York, also called Palladium in Gramercy district, opened in 1927, closed in 1997 and demolished the year after. I remembered it was hot in the 1980s, when by Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager (Peter Gatien operated from 1992-7) converted it to a night club – we went there dance often. At the same time, there was another famed disco venue: The Limelight, operated by Peter Gatien. It was covered from a church.
