Evangline Atwood Concert Hall
Théâtre à l'italienne
Acoustically sensitive and dramatically designed, the largest venue in the Alaska
Center is the Evangeline Atwood Concert Hall. It seats over 2,000 and features a large
stage (120' wide by 52' deep with a proscenium opening that is 57' wide and 35' high) as
well as state-of-the-art equipment such as a Meyers Sound System. It showcases symphonic,
chamber and popular music presentations as well as dance and Broadway musicals. The star
burst ceiling in the auditorium of the Atwood Concert Hall, radiating out from the
proscenium arch in reds, gold and greens, stunningly captures the effect of an aurora
borealis.
Evangeline Atwood was a noted historian, author of several books
and Anchorage’s most famous hostess. She and her husband Robert Atwood (owner of the
Times and champion of Alaska statehood) arrived in Alaska in 1935.
The Atwood
Concert Hall seats approximately 2,000 and consists of three levels (orchestra, mezzanine
and balcony). A horseshoe-shaped parterre surrounds the center floor section of the
orchestra.
