The 75-year-old Seattle Opera House is undergoing some major transformations. The old cultural center, now known as Marion Oliver McCaw Hall, will reopen with a new lecture hall accommodating 388 people, a 2,900-seat auditorium, tiered box seats, additional rest rooms, larger elevators, added stage traps, and numerous other extras.
Other improvements include the addition of a new entrance, a transparent lobby, and a new cafe with indoor and outdoor seating.
