Designed by internationally acclaimed architect Rafael Vinoly and completed in 2001, The Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts affords an astounding contemporary backdrop to the more than one thousand cultural, educational and private events that are hosted here each year.

The interior of the Kimmel Center features three performance venues. The state of the art Verizon Hall, home of The Philadelphia Orchestra, can seat 2,500 for performances or meetings. The Perelman Theater is a multi use space, featuring a turntable that transforms the theater from an intimate recital hall to a proscenium theater with a deep stage, fly loft and orchestra pit. First level theater seats maybe lowered and retracted to create a flat floor for cabaret performances and catered events. And Innovation Studio is a black box theater that may be used as a performance, rehearsal or event space.

There are various ancillary spaces as well, such as the rooftop Hamilton Garden, which features spectacular views of the Philadelphia's skyline, and the grand Commonwealth Plaza, a large gathering space at the base of the Kimmel Center’s soaring 150 foot vaulted glass roof.

All of these performance venues and ancillary spaces are available for private events, productions and meetings.

 
The Kimmel Center has received approximately 152 profile views in the last three months.
