NOAH LIFF OPERA CENTER

THE STUDIO

The Opera Studio has been designed for ultimate versatility complete with audio-visual and lighting capabilities, making it an exceptional space for special events, large meetings, or small performances. The wall between the Studio and the Ragsdale Grand Lobby is removable so the two areas can be used as one large room or separated, for use as lobby space or pre-function activities. The Opera Studio is immediately adjacent to the catering kitchen. A freight elevator opens into the space for easy set-up and strike. The Studio can accommodate up to 250 guests.

THE RAGSDALE

A breathtaking space atop The Noah Liff Opera Center’s dramatic spiral staircase, The Ragsdale Grand Lobby is an elegant setting for parties and wedding ceremonies alike. Natural light floods in from the expansive wall of windows which overlooks a grove of trees. At night, the glass catches the light of five stunning crystal chandeliers. Invite guests to step onto the Bettye Allen Balcony for a cocktail! Accommodates 70 to 150 guests.
