Elvis Costello once called this 2,031-seat theater across from the Dali Museum a palace, and he wasn’t wrong. Since opening its doors in 1965, the venue, which serves as home base for The Florida Orchestra, has a full bar in its modernized lobby, mezzanine and special balcony seating, and on-site—albeit cash only–$10 parking.
