It serves as the home of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, Florentine Opera, Milwaukee Ballet, First Stage Children's Theater and other local arts organizations. It is located at the corner of Water Street and State Street in downtown Milwaukee, and is owned by Milwaukee County.The Marcus Center was designed in the Brutalist style by noted Chicago architect Harry Weese.Construction began on June 27, 1966, and it opened on July 26, 1969 as the Performing Arts Center.
