Miami-Dade County Auditorium

Miami-Dade County Auditorium, opened in 1951, has a splendid history as Greater Miami's premier performing arts center for grand opera, symphony, theater, concerts, ballets, lectures and other programs of community interest. Designed as a multi-purpose facility, this acoustically excellent 2,429 seat theater, offering unparalleled sight lines, can accommodate a broad range of entertainment.

Open year-round, DCA is the home of the Florida Grand Opera, Sociedad Pro Arte Grateli, Miami's oldest Hispanic performing arts company, and the Concert Association of Florida which presents the world's finest orchestras and classical music soloists. DCA also hosts the most renowned names in jazz and Hispanic pop music.

A major renovation completed in 1995 includes extensive technical upgrades, a complete interior and exterior redecoration that embellishes the original Art Deco Revival style and alterations that provide better accessibility for persons with disabilities. And in 1998, the Auditorium's exterior was painted a bright terra-cotta with antique gold and avocado green highlights that bring out the details of its Art Deco revival architectural style. A new fire alarm system was also installed.
