Arts center set to enliven Philly
PHILADELPHIA — Great expectations surround the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, the glittering new home of the Philadelphia Orchestra that opened Friday with a $5,000-per-ticket gala featuring Elton John.

The Kimmel's economic and cultural impact won't be known for years. But supporters say that new performing arts centers in cities such as Cleveland and Newark, N.J., have encouraged development, helped orchestras' bottom lines and cemented cultural reputations.

Critics aren't sure the benefits are worth the expense, noting that it's hard to establish a direct link between economic development and public works projects.
"There's a lot of excitement about the move. It's not that we choose to forget about our past, but symbolically it's an opportunity for new beginnings," said Richard Smoot, chairman of the Philadelphia Orchestra.
The city is counting on the $265 million Kimmel Center to create thousands of jobs, spur business and residential development, and attract a whole new audience to the theater district known as the Avenue of the Arts.
The Kimmel is poised to become one of the city's signature buildings.
The Rafael Vinoly-designed building features a see-through arched roof with 5,808 individual windows and two performance spaces; the 2,500-seat Verizon Hall and the 650-seat Perelman Theater.
The building itself isn't expected to be profitable for several years. State and local governments have contributed nearly $100 million to the Kimmel.
The arts center is part of a decade-long push to make Philadelphia a premier tourist destination. The city has seen hundreds of millions of dollars worth of development, including a new convention center and sports arena, thousands of new hotel rooms and a restaurant boom.
Officials say the Kimmel will create 3,000 jobs and generate $153 million in annual spending on tickets, parking, restaurants, hotels and the like.
The Kimmel Center project began in 1996 as two separate plans. The orchestra wanted a new home with better acoustics and more space, and then-Mayor Edward G. Rendell
