Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts 
Designed by internationally acclaimed architect Frank Gehry, the 110,000-square-foot Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College opened in April 2003. The Fisher Center houses two theaters, rehearsal studios for dance and theater, and professional support facilities. The Sosnoff Theater, an intimate 900-seat theater with an orchestra, parterre, and two balcony sections, features an orchestra pit for opera and an acoustic shell designed by Yasuhisa Toyota that turns the theater into a first-class concert hall for performances of chamber and symphonic music. The Teaching Wing houses Bard’s Theater and Dance Programs during the academic year and includes Theater Two, a flexible “black box” theater. The Fisher Center houses the Bard Music Festival and will play host to companies from the United States and abroad during Bard SummerScape, a festival of opera, theater, film, dance, music, and Spiegeltent.
