McCaw Hall

In 2003 the original opera house underwent a massive transformation to become McCaw Hall (see Opera House). Built for no less than $127 million, this plush 2,900-seat auditorium with state-of-the-art acoustics and excellent amenities is home to the Seattle Opera and Pacific Northwest Ballet.
Moore Theater

Built in 1907, the grand lobby and halls of Seattle’s oldest theater flow with mosaic, stained glass, and woodcarvings. In 1974, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. It also serves as a base for new rock bands.
Neptune

Built in 1921 with a nautical motif and movie-palace grandeur.
Paramount Theater

One of the most treasured theaters in town, the faithfully restored Paramount dates from 1928 and exudes the charm of the popular Beaux Arts style of grand movie palaces of its period. Today, it presents Broadway shows, jazz and rock concerts, and dance performances.
Rendezvous Cafe/Jewel Box

This Belltown bar’s back room seats only a few diehard fans of independent film.
Sky Church

EMP’s performance venue (see Experience Music Project (EMP)) is a 85-ft (26-m) high room, the ultimate facility for a band looking to use 48,000 watts of surround-sound amplification, exceptional computer-controlled light systems, and the world’s largest indoor video screen.
Varsity

The Varsity has thrived since it opened in 1940.
