Eastman Theatre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Eastman Theatre is a performance space in Rochester, New York at the Eastman School of Music, the professional music school of the University of Rochester. The Theatre was established by George Eastman and opened on September 2, 1922 as a center for music, dance, and silent film with orchestral and organ accompaniment. The 3,094-seat theatre is the primary concert hall for the Eastman School's larger ensembles, including its orchestras, wind ensembles, jazz ensembles, and chorale. Also, the Eastman Opera Theatre presents fully staged operatic productions in the theatre each spring. It also is the principal performance venue for the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. A $5 million renovation of the theatre was completed in October 2004. The Theatre is located at 60 Gibbs Street, on the corner of Main and Gibbs Street in downtown Rochester.
