BUSINESS: Armstrong Auditorium

Experience the glitter and refinement of Edmond’s
international cultural center, the Armstrong Auditorium, offering the best of
the present and a window into the past. It is located just north of Waterloo
Road off Bryant Avenue on the Herbert W. Armstrong College campus.

A masterpiece of architectural art, the Armstrong
Auditorium’s grand lobby manifests the most superb artisanship with the finest
con-struction materials consisting of Persian onyx, American cherry and
Austrian crystal.

The theatre seats a maximum of 823 patrons. Designed for the
finest acoustical projection and balance, it gives every seat in the house the
best view and sound quality imaginable. This impressive edifice reflects the
auditorium’s motto “Concert-going as it’s meant to be.”

The Armstrong Auditorium welcomes the Russian National
Ballet Theatre in January 2013 for two world-class performances. The Russian
National Ballet Theatre is the crème de le crème of the world’s ballet
companies, having merged from two of history’s most renowned ballet troupes,
the Bolshoi Ballet and the Kirov.

On January 28th, the Russian National Ballet Theatre will
perform Cinderella, a full-length ballet in three acts originally performed by
the Bolshoi Ballet in 1945.

The next night’s presentation features Shakespeare’s
tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, and
Mikhail Fokine’s masterpiece, Chopiniana,
which debuted at the Bolshoi Theatre in 1932. Both plays

will be one-act renditions conveying all the emotion and
beauty of the original full-length versions.

The Russian National Ballet will utilize the same lavish
sets and authentic costumes from the original Bolshoi performances, promising
spectacular shows both evenings.

Buy your tickets early as these performances have sold out
quickly the past two seasons. Discounted season tickets are also available.

The grand lobby holds the remnants of Israel’s
archaeological treasures and their newest find, the Seals of Jeremiah’s
Captors. The seals exhibit will return to Israel after its extended showing
through January 16, 2013. Free tours of the auditorium and the grand lobby
exhibits occur during the week.
