On Christmas Eve 1876, Portsmouth citizens watched flames reduce
their largest meetinghouse and entertainment hall to ashes. During
the following year, local families, businessmen, and craftsmen
combined their resources to build a new auditorium with
state-of-the-art lighting, rigging, staging, and seating-a
comfortable venue for public addresses, charity functions, and
international entertainment. The Music Hall, Portsmouth, was born.
Twain spoke from her stage, Sousa's brass echoed from her walls,
and Edison's films brought her silver screen to life. Enduring war,
depression, and multiple threats of destruction, this grand hall
today stands as New Hampshire's oldest operating theater.
Showcasing the world's finest stage and screen talent, offering
artistic education to young and old, and hosting fundraisers and
private events, the Music Hall is a testament to the necessity of
arts in local culture and the strength of a community's
resolve.
