Blues Owner looks to reopen Kiel Opera House

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.

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).
