Venues
The building has 7 venues, in addition to numerous art galleries:
Overture Hall The 2251-seat Overture Hall is the facility's largest theater space. Consisting of four levels of seats, it has a striking architectural style. The balconies are notable for their "continental-style" seating arrangement, where aisles other than those on the sides of seat rows are omitted in order to provide, according to designers, greater seat size. It also features a large, permanent organ by the German organ builder Klais. The Madison Symphony Orchestra, Madison Opera, and Madison Ballet call this theater home. In addition to local Madison performing groups, a variety of touring performances have played in Overture Hall; comedian Jerry Seinfeld and musician Yo-Yo Ma are examples of the number of nationally famous names that have appeared here.
