About the Auditorium
The Hibbing High School Auditorium
The 1,800-seat Hibbing High School Auditorium was designed after the Capitol Theatre in New York City and is lit by cut-glass chandeliers of crystal imported from Belgium (each cost $15,000 in 1920, and today they are insured for $250,000 each). The auditorium boasts a magnificent Barton pipe organ, one of only two still existing in the United States. With over 1,900 pipes, the organ can play any orchestra instrument except the violin.
