In appearance, it recalls a Victorian men's club, with a generous use of mahogany and brass, both in the spacious lobbies and within its two auditoriums. The seats--between 1,815 and 2,000 in the larger, depending on the configuration of the stage--are a warm shade called terra cotta, and a blue patterned carpet covers most of the floors. Given the prevailing climate in Minnesota during the concert...
