“Company General Manager Plácido Domingo said that the pavilion, the opera’s home, will be closed for a year for renovations. Music Center President Stephen Rountree said by phone that the renovation will happen no sooner than 2011 and will cost more than $100 million, which has yet to be raised. The pavilion will retain its historic 1960s look, but the interior will be ‘freshened up,’ and the acoustics and backstage facilities will be updated.”
