Chartered in 1859 and open on Montague Street from 1861, the academy burned to the ground in November 1903 and rebuilt itself out here on Lafayette Avenue, opening the Herts and Tallant building in November 1908. Caruso sang in it, and so did most of the touring canon. The Next Wave Festival started in 1983 and turned a nineteenth century opera house into the American home of experimental performance.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
