In Short
St. Paul's Ordway is elegant and Old World, conforming admirably to the high standards set by its older Rice Park neighbors: Landmark Center, the St. Paul Hotel and the St. Paul Public Library. The 1,900-seat main hall has wooden walls that make for outstanding acoustics and the 306-seat McKnight Theater provides an intimate venue for smaller shows. Three organizations call the Ordway home: the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Minnesota Opera and the Schubert Club.
