Wow, look at this Theatre/Concert Hall!

[MillburyAuditorium]

I was looking on youtube, and I saw this amazing theatre that can be transformed into a concert hall in eight hours.

With all that work, I think I'd rather just have a concert in a theater.

But that is very cool. Props to whoever thought that up.

My only question is... what do they do to the ceiling? Yes, the seating moves but the ceiling of a venue has a drastic effect on the sound.

First half of the video I'm going: "yea, I do that everyday, what's so cool?"
Then the second half and you see entire walls and box seat moving around. Pretty cool, but I think way too much work. In the end, all they did was add a few box seats on the stage. I think with a good shell a better sound image could have been made with less work.

I thought the pit going up with no one on it, only to go about half way, and then go back down for more work just a few seconds later, I thought "Union break"

A similar venue in California: Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts.

Neither is as astonishing as the facility discussed in this thread: RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT, RICHMOND, BC, however.

The Melbourne Convention Centre was built last year. The Plenary hall has the same automated floor system as that casino.
