Holland Performing Arts Center The Holland Performing Arts Center
is a new 2,000-seat symphony hall for the Omaha Symphony Orchestra.
This world-class music hall is the physical embodiment of the City's commitment
to and passion for the musical arts. It will extend the reach of the ballet,
symphony and opera, attracting audiences from the immediate community
and the region. The Symphony's new home is the first structure in
a planned cultural complex for downtown Omaha. As an anchor to this
nascent arts district, the building serves to create an urban icon for
Omaha and a new dynamic identity for the OSO. The elevated lobby
of the symphony hall provides a visual connection between the neighboring
park and the courtyard enclosed within the building. The design
gives physical expression to the OSO as a cultural destination through
the use of glass and lighting to create an accessible and inviting presence.
Teaching and performance spaces include a 2000-seat concert hall, a flexible
450-seat chamber music hall and a semi-enclosed outdoor performance and
event garden. The multi-level lobby accommodates a variety of uses
including exhibitions, retail and a café. Amenities include
a donors' lounge and green room. Back of house functions include
dressing and rehearsal rooms, administrative offices, loading docks and
the mechanical, electrical and storage facilities required to support
all types and scales of performance. List
