Over the course of its 125-year history, the opera house has had quite a few name changes. As The Times first reported in November, and as Fisher himself confirmed as recently as last month, he is seeking to sell a share of ownership to outside investors for $500 million. He would then use the proceeds to help pay for the new Las Vegas ballpark. Uncertainty around the public funding could spook potential investors. We perform five productions a year with The Nutcracker featured at the State Theatre in downtown Ithaca.

Yet, just 10 miles away, Seneca Falls, the site of the first Women’s Rights Convention in 1848, steals the historical show of the suffrage movement not Geneva, New York. A massive restoration project launched in 1994 set as its goal the renovation of the building’s exterior to its original 1894 facade, and the interior to its 1931 eclectic art deco opulence. A marquee was removed from above the outside doors, revealing detailed busts of William Shakespeare and Edwin Booth.

Smith Center for the Arts

Other venues include the Hangar Theatre and Community School of Music and Art, Ithaca, NY. Our performances include dancers from our resident company, advanced guest children from the Ballet Center of Ithaca, as well as guest artists from around the United States. The Ithaca Ballet, under the direction of Cindy Reid, is the longest running performing arts group in Tompkins County. The Smith Opera House’s convenient downtown Geneva location is surrounded by lively restaurants, wine bars, hotels and retail shops, and it’s just a short stroll away from the shores of beautiful Seneca Lake. If you look at the façade, right above Booth and Shakespeare’s busts, you’ll see carved into the stone “Smith’s Opera House.” The ownership implied by the apostrophe obviously recalls the man who built it. From its opening in 1894 to around 1906 (McNally 4) the building was referred to as Smith’s Opera House.

The Smith Opera House is a perfect venue for taking in a live performance of music, dance, theater or speech.

From the late 1850’s to her final decade, from Boston to New York, Tubman was a popular speaker at suffrage meetings. White women saw a connection between their limited legal rights and her stories of life as an enslaved woman. The friendships Tubman made in the suffrage movement remained strong throughout her life.

That money could be reduced or eliminated if the court were to rule against the state. That money also could be put on hold should the court grant an injunction until the case is decided, or if the losing party appeals. A Nevada teachers’ union announced two challenges to the public funding, pursuing a referendum that would let voters decide and filing a lawsuit alleging the bill was unconstitutional. The Ithaca Ballet’s mission is sharing the art of classical and contemporary ballet with the widest audience possible in upstate New York. In its over 50 years of existence, the ballet has trained thousands of young people in the art of dance.

They and Tubman laid the groundwork for women’s suffrage but did not live to see the passage of the 19th amendment in 1920, guaranteeing women the right to vote. The 29th Annual Convention of the New York State Women Suffrage Association was held, in part, at the Smith on November 4th and 5th, 1897. Suffragist Susan B. Anthony spoke at the convention in the Smith as did the Rev. and Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, known for her work in the national suffrage and temperance movements and her work for world peace. The newspaper lists numerous other attendees, women known for their countless works to better society, of which the name, Harriet Tubman, Auburn, is listed. For 128 years, the Smith Opera House (the Smith) has hosted entertainment of various genres to enthusiastic audiences. Looking at decades’ old local newspapers, it also appears the Smith Opera House welcomed discourse on social movements including the fight for women’s suffrage.

The union cannot start gathering signatures until the matter is resolved — and would need to collect more than 100,000 signatures by June 26 in order for the referendum to appear on the November ballot. However, the referendum becomes a little more of a long shot with each passing day. The A’s and their allies have objected to the proposed language of the referendum petition, and the matter remains unresolved after seven months in the Nevada courts. The magnificent Smith Opera House opened on October 29, 1894, with a production of The Count of Monte Cristo, starring James O’Neill, father of playwright Eugene O’Neill.
