Interior View of Great Hall PhotoThe Great Hall

Designed to echo the great European opera houses, the Great Hall seats up to 1, 680 on three levels, complete with opera boxes. A curved 410-seat mezzanine tops an 830-seat orchestra level and a 440-seat Gallery/Second Balcony.

 

State-of-the-art rigging, lighting, audio systems and orchestra pit convert the hall easily from concerts to theatricals and provide UNI students with experience on the latest equipment.

 

The hall is also equipped for broadcasting and high quality recording. Backstage includes four "star" and two chorus dressing rooms, a catering kitchen and double loading dock.

A flexible rehearsal/recital hall with retractable seating converts from a rehearsal hall for large UNI ensembles during the day to a concert space for recitals and chamber ensembles at night. Surrounding the room are musical instrument storage areas and vocal and instrumental music libraries for the UNI School of Music.

The center's smallest hall houses its most precious instrument - a $500,000, 38 rank tracker organ built for the center by Wolff & Assoc. of Laval, Canada. A resource for the UNI organ program and home for intimate chamber concerts, Jebe Hall also serves as a rehearsal space for UNI choral ensembles.
