On opening day in April 1927, Hollywood stars came to celebrate the opening of this lavish 1,119-seat theater, known today as one of the best preserved examples of late 1920s motion picture houses in the United States. It’s no surprise that this historical masterpiece is home to Opera San Jose and Symphony Silicon Valley, but meeting planners are delighted to discover that it’s also a special conference and meeting facility – a place to gather when spectacular atmosphere is called for, as well as state-of-the-art audio and visual technology you’d expect in Silicon Valley.
