Opening in the fall of 2013, the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts will transform a Beverly Hills city block into a vibrant new cultural destination. The nonprofit center, paid for by Annenberg and other donors, started work over two years ago and was initially budgeted at $30 million, though that amount grew to something more “undisclosed.” The center, designed by Zoltan Pali, features a new 500-seat, state-of-the-art Theater, and also incorporates the city’s adjacent 1933 Italianate-style Beverly Hills Post Office, turning it into a 150-seat venue, drama school for kids, cafe, and gift shop. Courtyards, a sunken sculpture garden, event terrace, and underground parking surround the space. Together the venues will embrace the city’s history and future, creating a new cultural landmark. Located in the heart of Beverly Hills, the Wallis Annenberg Center will be a home to artists from around the world presenting and producing a breadth of theater, music, dance, opera and professional theater for young audiences.
