 | | In the Fall of 1971, the new Heinz Hall for the Performing Arts had its grand opening, amidst a great deal of ceremony and celebration, with many of the city's government officials on hand, as well as celebrities like Marion Anderson, James Earl Jones, Gregory Peck and Agnes de Mille. |
 | | In 1995, Heinz Hall, was given another renovation, costing over $6 million, which provided a new orchestra shell, enhanced acoustics, state of the art lighting and sound equipment, as well as new gold leaf, new carpeting and auditorium seats. |
 | | Along with the nearby Benedum Center (the one-time Stanley Theater), the Heinz is the centerpiece of the city's reinvigorated and lively Cultural District. |
