The hall is a traditional horseshoe shaped auditorium with three curved balconies and its 1,200 seats share an amazing intimacy with the stage. The dominant material in the auditorium is wood, which adds to the warm and intimate atmosphere, in addition to helping create the outstanding acoustical properties of the room. The opera house also includes a full stage sized rehearsal space, dressing rooms, green room, and workshops.
