About Citi Performing Arts Center - Wang Theater
The Citigroup and the Wang Theatre have a partnership and collaborate with the Boston Lyric Opera, Boston Ballet, Bank of America Celebrity Series and the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company.
The Wang Theatre The Wang Theatre was earlier known as the Metropolitan Theatre when it was first opened in the year 1925. The Wang Theatre was developed by Max Shoolman and designed by architect Clarence Blackall, with the help of Detroit theatre architect C. Howard Crane. The theatre's seating capacity at present is for 3,600+ people. In 1962 the Wang Theatre became the home of the Boston Ballet and was rechristened as the Music Hall. During the 1960s and 1970s, the audiences saw the Stuttgart Opera, the Metropolitan Opera, Bolshoi Ballet and Kirov Ballet as well as other popular movies and several performing artists at the venue. However, with time they were not able to attract the large touring companies because of the size of the stage at the Wang Theatre was small and the facilities were outdated. Later in the year 1983, Dr. An Wang made a very large donation to the center. From 1989 - 1992, $9.8 million was raised to restore the Theatre to its past glory. This was achieved with the help of the Boston based architecture firm Finegold Alexander and Associates Inc.
