    The opera house in Bangalore was originally built by the British as an entertainment venue but later fell into disrepair after changing hands multiple times and being used for various purposes. It faced demolition until its current owner won the right to preserve the heritage building, which has since been leased to Samsung and renovated while maintaining elements of both British colonial and Indian architecture.
