Shiels Obletz Johnsen was the project manager. NBBJ was the architect and Lease Crutcher Lewis was the general contractor. The building is at the southwest corner of Mercer Street and Fourth Avenue North, adjacent to McCaw Hall, the opera's performance space since 2003. The four-story, 105,000-square-foot headquarters consolidates most of Seattle Opera's operations under one roof while creating spaces for teachers, artists, educational programming and community partnerships. There will be musical performances by Seattle Opera's Chorus and Teen Vocal Studio, and a rehearsal of an upcoming production. The public can come and explore during a free grand opening from 2-5 p.m. The new building is called Seattle Opera at the Center. Seattle Opera has moved into its new headquarters after completing a $60 million building on the Seattle Center campus. This rehearsal area is visible from Mercer Street.
