SEATTLE-According to the city’s Seattle Center, the Seattle Opera House will reopen as the Marion Oliver McCaw Hall in exactly one year, after it undergoes a $125-million renovation.

Seattle Center Opera House dates back to 1927, when it was originally dedicated as the Civic Auditorium, according to the Seattle Center.

For the 1962 World’s Fair, the Auditorium was renamed Seattle Center Opera House and received a $3-million renovation to modernize the outer facade and public areas, but no funds were spent on the working components of the building. The original front of the 1927 Civic Auditorium is still behind the west brick wall of Seattle Center Opera House.
