I’ve seen many stories on the opening of Chapman’s new Mosco Center for the Arts during the past two weeks. The tickets that I saw availabe are around $5,000 a ticket. Please let us know if you find links to more affordable tickets for the opening night. The gist of the opening is as follows:
Chapman University has announced the grand opening of Marybelle and Sebastian P. Musco Center for the Arts. One of the most important occasions in its history, Chapman University will celebrate the newest and most spectacular addition to its main campus.
The Inaugural Concert and Grand Opening Celebration is set for Saturday, March 19, 2016 and will feature world renowned tenor and conductor Maestro Plácido Domingo, plus a host of artists and surprises yet to be announced.
Musco Center for the Arts is an 88,142-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility that includes an intimate 1,044-seat theater that can accommodate full-scale Broadway style productions, full ballets, symphonies and operas, chamber performances, jazz and more. It will be a principal part of the Orange County arts community and will welcome a broad spectrum of performances by Chapman students and faculty from the acclaimed College of Performing Arts, as well as city events and regional and national touring ensembles.
Pfeiffer Partners, an architectural firm that has designed award-winning performance facilities worldwide, is the designer of the Center.
