McAlister Auditorium is the world’s largest self-suspended concrete dome, as well as New Orleans’ largest regularly scheduled cinema. Built in 1940, funds for building were bequeathed by Mrs. Amelie McAlister Upshur. The building is a memorial to her mother, Mrs. Armantine Reynaud McAlister. The architects were Favrot and Reed and Gervais Favrot was the builder. The facility is used for concerts, premieres, and speakers.

McAlister Auditorium seats 1,968 for a number of occasions including lectures, concerts, theatrical performances and political debates.

A large hydraulic orchestra pit, excellent sound shell and well-designed acoustics allow for a variety of productions, from guest speakers to symphonic oratorios. McAlister offers updated technology and an experienced technical staff.
