Silent era organist Alexander Schreiner played at the Capitol, and was later famous as a Salt Lake Tabernacle organist.

The Capitol Theatre is now owned and maintained by Salt Lake County. The original two-manual, 11-rank Wurlitzer Theater Organ is fully restored. The original casson-raised orchestra pit is restored, allowing grand style for organ concerts and silent movie accompaniment.

The Capitol is home for an internationally-known ballet company, and is also fully involved in major touring stage shows, such as Les Miserables and Weber’s Phantom of the Opera.
