Sep 1, 2021 · The Opera Center, Seattle Opera's $60 million operations center, was completed in 2018. Created by NBBJ (architect) and Lease Crutcher Lewis (general contractor), the four-story, 105,000 sq. ft. building sits adjacent to McCaw Hall and anchors the northeast corner of the Seattle Center campus.

Founded in 1963, Seattle Opera is one of the leading opera companies in the United States. The company is recognized internationally for the quality of its productions and as the pre-eminent presenter of Wagner's opera in the United States.

The Seattle Opera at the Center turns the traditional program inside-out for the delight of the community, revealing the beautiful “behind-the-scenes” efforts that must coalesce to create a performance and breaking down barriers between audience and art.

Equally functional, comfortable, and beautiful, the new Center will undoubtedly put a spring in the step of Seattle Opera’s staff and fan base alike, and its new visibility should attract a new wave of curious operagoers.

Today a large range of events takes place at the Hall apart from the ubiquitous opera and ballet productions including concerts, comedy gigs and film premieres.
