Trump booed, cheered at Kennedy Center. Now opera house may be renamed for Melania
Will the opera house at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, honor its chair with the name change to 'First Lady Melania Trump Opera House?' When President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump visited the Kennedy Center last month to see 'Les Misérables,' part of the crowd booed when the couple stood up. Roughly six weeks later, a House panel voted to rename the Kennedy Center venue where Les Mis appeared "First Lady Melania Trump Opera House.' As president of the United States, it's not uncommon to have places, monuments and streets bearing your name. Earlier this month, the road in front of Donald Trump's private club, Mar-a-Lago, known as Southern Boulevard, was approved by Palm Beach County, Florida, commissioners to be renamed President Donald J. Trump Boulevard. Next month's release of Trump Mobile – complete with gold cell phone and monthly plan – is another example.

The theater is presently designated as the "Opera House," located between the "Concert Hall" and the "Eisenhower Theater."
