Spreckels Theater, Historic theatre in downtown San Diego, United States
The Spreckels Theatre Building occupies an entire city block with a structure that measures 200 feet wide and 235 feet deep in downtown San Diego.
Sugar magnate John D. Spreckels commissioned architect Harrison Albright to design this theatre, which opened its doors on August 23, 1912 as a modern commercial playhouse.
The theatre contains two balconies in Baroque architectural style and features a grand mural by Emil T. Mazy depicting Neptune and angels above the stage.
The venue maintains a seating capacity of 1,463 across multiple levels including orchestra, mezzanine, and second balcony, with excellent sight lines throughout the space.
Engineers designed the auditorium without supporting columns, implementing massive steel trusses to create an unobstructed view from every seat in the theatre.
