Civic Center Music Hall, Concert hall in Oklahoma City, United States.
Civic Center Music Hall is a concert and performing arts venue in downtown Oklahoma City, built in the Art Deco style with a large main auditorium and several smaller performance spaces. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building combines its original decorative architecture with updated stage and sound equipment.
The hall opened on October 4, 1937, at a time when large public investments in the arts were rare due to the Great Depression. It has gone through several renovation phases since then, each aimed at updating its technical facilities without altering its original design.
The hall is the home of the Oklahoma City Philharmonic and the Oklahoma City Ballet, which together shape much of the annual program. Broadway touring productions also stop here regularly, making it the main stage for the city's performing arts season.
The hall sits in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City and is easy to reach on foot from the surrounding streets and parking areas. Wheelchair-accessible seating and facilities are available throughout the building for visitors with mobility needs.
The hall was partly funded through a New Deal federal program, which made public cultural buildings possible during the Depression years. This makes it one of the few surviving examples of that era of government arts investment still in active use in Oklahoma.
