In 1882, the Hot Springs Opera House, one of the most impressive buildings in Hot Springs (Garland County), opened with its first performance, Virginius. During the coming years, the works of Shakespeare and many others were performed in the 800-seat theater. Closed during World War I, the venue never reopened and was razed in 1961. A parking deck is now located on the site.
