Zinc Econowall panels were selected to complement the historic building’s brick and cornice façade of this 1895 structure. This project was also recipient of a Design Award from Baltimore AIA.īlue Grey Zinc pre-finished Metalwërks Econowall™ Rainscreen panels were installed over solid sheathing and an engineered furring system. Other features of this project include a new orchestra pit, catwalks, chandelier restoration, and a complete repainting of the auditorium interior. The stage was expanded in depth and a new cross-over bridge suspended over the sidewalk to allow for more effective use of the stage. The newest change is a new 95-foot tall stage house designed to accommodate full scale grand opera and today’s Broadway touring productions. RCG began with a comprehensive master plan which included a few phases of renovations and expansions. Initially built as a concert hall and due to limitations of the stage-house and technical systems, the Lyric was unable to preserve its historic legacy and position to attract and support first class performing arts, educational, and community-based events.
This project was the culmination of a plan developed in the mid-1970s to renovate and modernize the facility. The Lyric Opera House, originally constructed in 1895, is the city’s best venue for Opera and traveling Broadway shows.
