Steinmetz Hall Ballet and Opera Performances Announced for February 2022
Local News Staff 
Orlando Ballet's Giselle will be Steinmetz Hall's first performance.
Promoted as "one of the world’s most acoustically perfect spaces," the hall's designers imagined the Steinmetz as a hub for ballet, orchestra and opera performances.
The hall has been in the making since 2005, and inaugural concerts at the Steinmetz's were previously postponed several times due to administrative and technical issues as well as the pandemic.
But that all changed this week. Orlando Ballet held a press conference on Tuesday stating that their production of Giselle will open the Steinmetz Hall on Valentine's Day weekend. Performances will take place on Feb. 10-13, 2022.
The romantic French ballet was initially performed in 1841.
"A few months ago we were informed that the new acoustic hall, now named Steinmetz Hall, and named after the generous gift of Marjorie Pabst and Charles Steinmetz, would indeed be ready in February for a performance," said Jonathan Ledden, the Ballet's Board President, after acknowledging the seeming suddenness of the press conference being called.
"Our current season had been planned, contracts had been signed and tickets were on sale. Nevertheless, we were not going to miss the opportunity to be one of the first performing arts organizations to move into this shining venue."
Tickets are available for purchase through the Orlando Ballet website.
