DescriptionSteel and aluminum panels are added to the underside of the headdress. The headdress, or proscenium, reaches a height of 120 feet above the stage and is an important part of the overall acoustical plan for the Pavilion. As sound is made on stage it is directed down and out toward the audience in the seated area while the curving wings east and west of the stage help direct the sound to those on the lawn.
