Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, Performing arts center on South Broad Street, Philadelphia, US
The Kimmel Center features a glass-vaulted rooftop architecture housing multiple performance spaces, including the 2,500-seat Verizon Hall and 650-seat Perelman Theater.
The center opened in December 2001 after a planning process that started in 1986 when the Philadelphia Orchestra decided to build a new concert hall.
The venue hosts eight resident companies, including the Philadelphia Orchestra and Opera Philadelphia, while presenting Broadway shows and contemporary performances throughout the year.
The center provides daily guided tours of its facilities, with educational programs for students and multiple dining options at the Encore Bar and Volvér restaurant.
The Verizon Hall contains the largest mechanical action concert hall pipe organ in North America, constructed by Dobson Pipe Organ Builders.
