I posted about this in April, but there's more info now. The rehab is supposed to be about $75 million. The Opera House (to me anyway) looks remarkably intact on the inside considering it's been empty since the late 1980s I think.

Some info on the building:

I certainly hope this reopens. I'm optimistically cautious.
I know before Gistok was asking about the interior. The video I posted gives a tour of the interior. There's another interview with Checketts if you scroll a bit on the right hand side (where the videos are).
