OPERA HOUSE
Williamsburg, Brooklyn · 39,000 sq ft · landmarked opera house
About this venue
Opera House is a landmarked building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn with 39,000 sq ft organised around a cathedral-scale main hall that still carries its original Art Deco detail. Couples and wedding planners use the hall for ceremonies at a scale most Brooklyn rooms cannot hold; private hosts and nonprofits take it for large celebrations and benefits; and film, art and brand teams use the multiple configurable zones to run several environments at once. Resident artist studios keep the building working rather than dormant, and an expansive outdoor lot absorbs installations, overflow or production vehicles without borrowing the street.
The hallmark of this historic building is found within its flexibility and capacity: there are 39,000 square feet on five levels. This adaptability lends your creatives and builders a favorable environment to stage utterly unique activations, receptions, presentations or unique events. The levels are flexible spaces that can be used for presentations, banqueting rooms, dance kitchens, conferences rooms and multiple breakout rooms. There are also two-dedicated Green Rooms and a kitchen. Each of these rooms satellite around the main space that features a 60-foot ceiling, chandeliers and, at your option, a spacious mezzanine. It is ideal for elaborate builds, presentations, galas or exhibitions. With the addition of seating, The space can be transformed into a fully equipped theater that can seat up to six hundred people with a stage outfitted with the latest a/v tech.
