Taper Auditorium, located within Benaroya Hall, is the primary performance space for the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. Opened in 1998, Benaroya Hall was designed by LMN Architects and acoustician Russell Johnson. The auditorium itself is renowned for its excellent acoustics, achieved through a vineyard-style seating arrangement that places the audience closer to the performers and utilizes adjustable acoustic elements. The hall replaced the former Seattle Opera House and represents a significant investment in the city’s cultural infrastructure. It hosts a wide variety of performances beyond the Seattle Symphony, including visiting orchestras, chamber music ensembles, and solo recitals. The auditorium’s capacity is approximately 2,700 seats.
