Inspired by the great opera houses of Europe, audiences are seated in a vineyard-style, semicircle configuration facing the stage-bringing them closer to the performers than in traditional auditorium-style proscenium venues. The 1,800-seat Muriel Kauffman Theatre is designed to be visually striking, yet retain an intimate experience for both audiences and performers. At the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, everyone can have an opportunity to experience excellence.
