LIVE ROOM
Marc A. Scorca Hall is an acoustically excellent space specifically designed for the operatic voice. The hall was designed by Andrew Berman Architect and acoustics were designed by Robert F. Mahoney & Associates. The hall is a completely floating structure with non-parallel surfaces. It measures 21.2ft x 55.3ft (1172.36 sqft) with 20 ft ceiling. It has wood flooring and ceiling, platform stage and adjustable acoustic panels to alter the "liveness" of the hall. In addition to operatic/musical theater piano and vocal recordings, the hall is perfectly suited for orchestral, choral and chamber recordings.
