Heinz Hall
Théâtre à l'italienne
Heinz Hall for the Performing Arts, dedicated in 1971 and renovated in 1995, is
the cornerstone of the Cultural District of Pittsburgh. This cultural-entertainment
focal point of the Golden Triangle has helped spur the continuing economic and
cultural revitalization of downtown Pittsburgh. With its international
reputation for grandeur and excellence as a concert hall and showplace, the
2,661-seat Heinz Hall is home of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.
The
Hall is centrally located near Gateway Center, PPG Place, CNG Tower, Fifth Avenue
Place and Liberty Center. The Cultural District offers many restaurants, hotels and
parking facilities within easy walking distance to the Hall.
The
structure evolved from its origin in 1927 as the Loew's Penn Theater to its
renovation and dedication as Heinz Hall for the Performing Arts in 1971--"a gift
to the Pittsburgh Symphony Society from the Howard Heinz Endowment . . . to
encourage, foster and perpetuate the performing arts in the Greater Pittsburgh
area."
Each year more than a half-million patrons attend symphony
concerts and other attractions, ranging from Pops concerts to children's concerts to
national Broadway touring shows.
