McCaw Hall (Seattle, WA)

Seattle's McCaw Hall was dedicated in July, 2003. It is an extraordinarily fine replacement for the execrable Opera House which served Seattle for many decades and looked like some sort of archietectural refugee from the 1950s era of sleek, artificial and barren buildings.

While it has the clean, sleek look of much contemporary architecture,it also has warmth and informality especially in the lobbies and concert hall. The latter is a warm, elegant room that has a soft, relaxed feel. It will be a great place for hearing opera and seeing ballet. The Hall will house the Seattle Opera and Pacific Northwest Ballet.
