We’ll Always Have Casablanca: A Valentine’s Night of Timeless Romance at Fort Payne Opera House

This Valentine’s Day, step out of the present and into one of the most romantic moments in cinema history as lights up the silver screen at the beautiful Fort Payne Opera House. On Saturday, February 14, 2026, love, sacrifice, and unforgettable dialogue come together for an evening that feels tailor-made for hopeless romantics and classic film lovers alike.

There’s something magical about watching Casablanca in a historic theater. As the projector hums and the black-and-white imagery flickers to life, Humphrey Bogart’s Rick Blaine pulls us into a smoky café where hearts are broken, ideals are tested, and love refuses to fade—even when it must be set aside. Ingrid Bergman’s Ilsa glows with longing and quiet strength, reminding us that true romance is often bittersweet, shaped by courage and impossible choices.

The Opera House itself becomes part of the story—its old walls echoing with iconic lines, its seats filled with shared laughter, soft sighs, and that collective hush during the film’s most powerful moments. This isn’t just a movie screening; it’s an experience, one that turns Valentine’s night into something cinematic and unforgettable.

Whether you’re arriving hand-in-hand with someone special, enjoying a solo date with classic cinema, or sharing the evening with friends who love old Hollywood charm, Casablanca offers a reminder that some stories never age—and some loves never truly end.
