The Santa Fe Opera - Ph. 2

MAD recently completed Phase Two of the “Setting the Stage” campaign by expanding all the structures on the North side of the Crosby Theater. By carefully considering the existing landscape, MAD designed the new buildings to sensitively expand the facility while retaining important vistas and Theater sightlines.The Poole Production Center was increased by 25,000 SF to 38,000 SF while creating new outdoor plaza spaces for Opera guests to gather pre-performance and during intermission. The production center includes multiple fabrication shops with complex state of the art mechanical systems, and greatly improved stage wing level spaces for backstage activities. The new three story Wyncote Opera Club was designed to provide 8,500 SF of open lounge spaces and concessions, while introducing an elevator and bridge access to the Theater’s balcony.
