There is another opera house called the Roberts Opera House, that operated as a special events house as early as 1869. However, I cannot confirm if its related to the Hartford Opera House or a different theater in Hartford.

50sSNIPES commented about North Shore Theatre on Apr 18, 2026 at 5:54 am

Later operated by ABC Interstate Theatres. It became an independently operated dollar house afterward before it was twinned on July 9, 1982 as “Northshore 2”, and was divided into a quad in June 1985 as “Northshore 4”.

It most likely closed on October 5, 1997 judging by the final ad, but there’s a goof on the April 24, 1998 edition of the Houston Chronicle showing that it was still listed, but I cannot tell if it was still operating without advertising or not.
