Face-Lift for Alice Busch Opera Theater Seats

Posted by Brittany Lesavoy

Lizzy Mott, Operations Assistant, is working diligently in our Alice Busch Opera Theater to make the seat cushions prettier for our audience members’ cushions. 

Lizzy is going through the theater and re-stretching the fabric on each theater seat to improve its appearance. So far she’s done about 40. The theater seats around 900….

First, each chair has to be taken apart (please pardon the horrible photography).
