WHEN GILMER TOOK OVER THE SYMPHONY SIX YEARS AGO, THE ORCHESTRA OUTDOOR CONCERTS WERE HELD IN THE SAME PLACE BUT A DIFFERENT SETTING.

THE SHOW WAS SCHEDULED TO OPEN LAST YEAR, IT WILL NOW HOST CONCERTS YEAR-ROUND.

♪ >> Reporter: THESE PICTURES ARE FROM A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN PERFORMANCES WERE RECORDED TO BE SHOWN ONLINE.

THIS IS ONE ASPECT OF WHAT MAKES THIS PLACE AMAZING.

THE LIGHTING DESIGN AND ON THESE TOWERS THAT WILL CREATE A FEAST FOR THE EYES.

IT IS THE SOUND THAT ELEVATES THE MUSICAL EXPERIENCE TO STRATOSPHERIC LEVELS.

SOUND EVERYWHERE.

FROM THE STAGE TO THE BACK ROW.

>> THERE ARE MICROPHONES ON THE STAGE AND SPEAKERS ON THE STAGE THAT CREATE BASICALLY AN INDOOR ACOUSTIC ENVIRONMENT FOR MUSICIANS.

THEY HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BLENDED SOUND.

ALL OF IT UNDERWEAR THE SEATING AREA IS.

WHEN IT IS NOT BEING USED FOR PERFORMANCES, THE VENUE WILL MY PMT.

85% OF IT WILL TURN TO A PUBLIC PARK.

TALK ABOUT A GREAT PLACE FOR A PICNIC.

AS PUBLIC AS IT IS, THE COST TO SAN DIEGO TAXPAYERS WAS MINIMAL.

THE CITY CHIPPED IN $50,000 OF THE $85 BILLION PRICE TAG.

MOST OF THAT CAME FROM DONORS.

IT WILL OPEN THE SUMMER, AUGUST AT THE LATEST.

THIS DREAM TURN TO REALITY BY THE WORK OF 133 PEOPLE.

AND NOW, AS THEATER VENUES BEGIN TO REOPEN, COMES SAD NEWS THAT ANOTHER PLACE WILL GO CLOSED.

ARC LIGHT OFFERED STATE-OF-THE- ART PRODUCTIONS.

FOR LA THIS IS HEARTBREAKING BECAUSE IT IMPACTS THIS DOME BUILT IN 1963 AND WAS SOME TO EXTRAVAGANT FILM PREMIERES.
