Lichtin Plaza Redesign Project
The exterior plaza of the Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts is set to undergo dramatic enhancements in the coming months.
As the grand entrance to one of Raleigh’s most iconic downtown venues, design plans for Lichtin Plaza will enrich the space for visitors and residents alike.
The beautifully re-designed greenspace will serve as an ideal location for innovative event concepts, or simply for relaxing and enjoying time outdoors. Accessibility enhancements are a large focus of the project, adding accessible wheelchair ramps into Raleigh Memorial Auditorium and a designated drop-off lane also being incorporated in the design.
Further updates to this project will be added to this page as available.
We want everyone to have an enjoyable experience while attending an event at the Martin Marietta Center. Below you will find important "Know Before You Go" information pertaining to this week's upcoming events.

Fletcher Opera Theater
In 2017, Grammy-nominated artist Joan Osborne released the critically acclaimed album, Songs of Bob Dylan. Her artistic and soulful reinterpretations of the selection of Dylan songs was an eye-opening moment in an already celebrated career.
Eight years after milestone recording, Osborne will release the stunning Dylanology Live on April 25th. The captivating recording finds the gifted vocalist performing in front of a live audience, with special guests Amy Helm, Robert Randolph and Jackie Greene. Songs include “Spanish Harlem Incident”, “Buckets Of Rain” “Masters Of War”, “Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here With You” and “High Water (For Charley Patton)”.
Throughout her three-decade, multi-Grammy nominated career, Joan Osborne has never been an artist confined to one space as she continues to seamlessly blend into any genre. Her incredible and distinctive voice always shines through her own songs, while she has also become one of her generation’s finest interpreters. Dylanology Live is yet another testament to her artistic range.
