Utah Opera

What about Abravanel Hall? What are they doing to that?

So at Bravendale Hall, as you may remember back in 2024 when this legislation sort of originally passed and this idea really started coming into life, there was a real concern from the musicians and the organizers of Utah Symphony, Utah Opera, which mainly performs there, along with a host of other performers.

But there was some real concern that Abravno Hall could be lost, this historic mid-century concert hall that is in need of some upgrades and many Many folks knew that it was in need of some upgrades, but were worried that those needed upgrades would be pretext for tearing it down.

In fact, what's going to happen is that there is going to be some back of house renovations to Abravno Hall, to those practice spaces, to office spaces, and that's going to allow the hall to be a little bit more oriented, a little bit more of a part of this overall project.

But it will still stand.

It will still be there.

It will still be the home of Utah Symphony at Utah Opera.

There will be a new concert venue, apparently.
