The photo you posted is actually of a fire that destroyed part of the opera house in the early 1920s – up until that time the building was claimed to be “fireproof”. You can even see that claim painted on the side of the building! During the fire, a fireman was killed in the blaze, and his spirit is said to haunt the building today.
