Enjoy a guided tour of Chicago's Auditorium Theatre, the crowning achievement of famed architects Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan. It opened in 1889 and was immediately acclaimed as one of the most beautiful & functional theatres in the world. Its architectural integrity & perfect acoustics are internationally recognized. Closed at the onset of World War II, the Auditorium Theatre was neglected and abandoned for many years, slipping into decay and disrepair. Through the valiant efforts of Mrs. Beatrice T. Spachner and a group of dedicated civic leaders, an independent council was formed to raise funds to restore the Theatre to much of its original splendor, and the Auditorium reopened in October 1967. Keeping true to Adler and Sullivan's vision, the Auditorium Theatre truly does welcome all of Chicago.
