Most current University of Minnesota students have yet to set foot in Northrop Memorial Auditorium.
But after a three-year, $88.2 million renovation, Northrop will reopen its doors April 4 with the American Ballet Theater performing “Giselle,” accompanied by a live orchestra.
“In the daily life of our students, Northrop too often was a magnificent and beloved campus landmark [students] walked by on their way to somewhere else,” Karen Hanson, vice president for academic affairs and provost, said at a press conference Thursday.
