The Atlanta Opera Announces New Facility on the Beltline
By Francisco SalazarThe Atlanta Opera has announced that it will transform the historic Bobby Jones Clubhouse, located on Woodward Way on the Atlanta Beltline, into a home for opera and the performing arts in a community-forward, multi-disciplinary arts center.
The company’s new plan will create a nature-inspired recital hall, immersive theatre venue, and education spaces, as well as administrative and rehearsal areas for the Opera.
The recital and theatrical spaces will support a variety of performances and community engagement focusing on the arts, including recitals, jazz, cabarets, immersive chamber operas, and more.
The facility will cost $45 million and will be a key component of the company’s Opera’s recently launched $110 million comprehensive campaign.
In a statement, Tomer Zvulun, the Carl W.

A state-of-the art facility in this park setting will be a source of creativity for our local and visiting musicians. It is perfectly positioned to help us serve audiences and collaborators in our beautiful city and beyond.”
This season the Atlanta Opera will present the “Boheme” project as well as productions of “Macbeth” and “Siegfried,” among others.
