Keller Auditorium

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Keller Auditorium, formerly known as the Portland Municipal Auditorium, the Portland Public Auditorium, and the Portland Civic Auditorium, is a performing arts center located on Clay Street in Portland, Oregon, United States.

The venue was originally opened in 1917. The name was changed in 1968 to the Portland Civic Auditorium after a major renovation.[1] The name was changed again in 2000 to the Keller Auditorium after a $1.5 million donation by Richard B. Keller to renovate the auditorium.[2]

Originally holding 4,500 people, the venue now has a capacity of 2,992.[2]

The Keller Auditorium is the home of many performances of the Portland Opera.
