Jacobs Music Center in downtown San Diego reopened in September 2024 following a $125 million renovation of the historic 1929 Fox Theatre at 750 B Street, now serving as the indoor home of the San Diego Symphony. The Gothic Revival hall seats 1,831 after the redesign reduced capacity from 2,248 to improve sightlines, with angled seating replacing the original movie-theater rows and a new choral terrace behind the orchestra that doubles as patron seating—a flexible staging format that supports the same large-scale choral works the San Diego Children's Choir performs in concert with the orchestra. Acoustic consultants Akustiks engineered a longer reverberation time while maintaining speech clarity, and a permanent fixed orchestra shell designed to blend and project sound replaced the venue's previous temporary staging. An L-Acoustics multi-zone speaker system, state-of-the-art theatrical lighting, and upgraded HVAC with reduced mechanical noise bring the 95-year-old hall to modern concert-hall standards, complementing the broader performing-arts infrastructure that includes Casa del Prado Theatre in nearby Balboa Park. The orchestra's 82-plus full-time musicians perform a season spanning symphonic repertoire, pops concerts, and community education programs reaching over 65,000 students annually. Full-orchestra performances of large-scale symphonic works with chorus—such as Mahler's Symphony No. 2, which marked the reopening—represent the hall's most demanding acoustic and logistical productions.
