The Tobin Center for the Performing Arts is a performing arts center inSan Antonio. Located next to theSan Antonio Riverwalk, it is named for Robert L. B. Tobin, one of the city's most prominent residents.
See alsoSan Antonio Municipal Auditorium.
The Tobin Center was constructed on the site of the formerSan Antonio Municipal Auditorium, which had been built in 1926 and razed in 2009. Portions of the exterior of the Municipal Auditorium were preserved to be incorporated into the new facility. The renovation, by the Seattle-basedLMN Architects and the local firm Marmon Mok Architecture, was completed, and the new facility opened, in 2014.[1][2]
On October 2, 2014, SirPaul McCartney performed a special benefit concert for the Tobin Center.[3]
This 1738-seat theater at the core of the center was designed to accommodate bothacoustic andamplified performances with the specific intent of being the home to theSan Antonio Symphony, Opera San Antonio, and Ballet San Antonio. Seating is on four levels:orchestra, grand tier boxes,mezzanine, andbalcony.
Built as a "black box theater," the 259-seat[4] hexagon-shaped space is customizable for a variety of events.
