The theatre opened in 1965 and became the largest performing arts venue in the San Diego region. Since then it has established itself as a center for the performing arts, drawing generations of audiences.
The San Diego Civic Theatre is the performing home of the San Diego Opera, which stages its season in the hall. The venue also presents concerts and musicals, so the programme shifts between opera, touring music acts and Broadway-style shows rather than a single genre.
Access to the seating follows a clear pattern, so it helps to check your seat numbers before arriving. Navigation in the hall is made easier by the alphabetical arrangement, so visitors can find their seats easily.
During certain productions when the orchestra pit is not needed, the theatre adds three extra rows labeled AA, BB, and CC in front of the standard Row A. This allows the seating capacity to be adjusted flexibly based on the type of performance.
