Multipurpose Hall with Gala Venue® Rotation System

At the heart of Steinmetz Hall is its transformative design. Equipped with a Gala Venue® transformable seating system, Steinmetz Hall can transform automatically in both shape and seating… the possibilities are nearly endless.

Steinmetz Hall in Orlando is a beacon of innovation, beauty, and acoustic perfection. It is one of the world’s most acoustically perfect spaces, designed to achieve an N1 sound rating. Named after donors Chuck and Marjorie Pabst Steinmetz, it is a 1,700-seat theater designed for performances by the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, Opera Orlando, and the Orlando Ballet. Located inside the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, Steinmetz Hall is recognized as one of the 11 most beautiful theaters in the world by Architectural Digest.

Voices from the Project

It (Gala Venue® system) gives the ability to transform the theater from a fully seated Hall into a flat floor within less than 15 minutes... it is incredible for us ! We take advantage of the capability and the customization of the floor (…) the possibilities are endless and we're very excited about that!
