Sunset Center, Carmel, California

Renovated Hall Layout A

Figure 1. View of stage from center of the hall. Note the proscenium arch is cut back significantly from the Oct 2000 layout. This significantly influences the acoustics throughout the hall. The shell behind the performers is also much taller.
