Located in Knoxville's fourth oldest building, the Lamar House, and first opened in 1908, the Bijou Theatre has been a staple of the Knoxville cultural and entertainment scene for over a century. The theater opened with new renovations in 2006, and is guided by a mission to provide first-rate performing arts events for a reasonable cost. In addition to contemporary music concerts, the theater hosts operas, orchestral concerts, musicals, and comedy shows. A history of ghost sightings makes the Bijou an even more enticing place for a musical adventure.
