Named after Ardis Krainik, the Civic's main performance space, with a seating capacity of 3,563, stands as the second-largest opera auditorium in North America.

The image encapsulates the grandeur of the Civic Opera House, surrounded by a 45-story office tower and two 22-story wings, collectively known as the Civic Opera Building. Adorned with Art Deco details, this complex, which opened on November 4, 1929, stands as a timeless symbol of Chicago's architectural and cultural legacy.
