An outdoor performance center—featuring stage and back of house pavilion, VIP dining and audience pavilion, concession, ticketing and restroom pavilions—sits within a wooded pine forest at the edge of Symphony Lake in Cary, NC. The facility has a seating capacity of 7,000 to 10,000 on a central lawn and under the surrounding pines. The venue is the summer stage for the North Carolina Symphony, the Triangle Opera, the Carolina Ballet Company, assorted national touring entertainers, and local community groups.
