<p>The North Carolina <strong><a title="Blumenthal Performing Arts Center" href="http://www.blumenthalcenter.net/?utm_source=usoperaweb.com&amp;utm_medium=blumenthalcenter.net&amp;utm_campaign=usoperaweb.com">Blumenthal Performing Arts Center</a></strong> (also NC Blumenthal Center and NCBPAC) is located in Charlotte, North  Carolina. It opened in 1992 and is named in honor of the people of the  state of North Carolina and the Blumenthal Foundation, the largest  private donor to the capital campaign. The idea for the center dates  back to the late 1970s. Momentum for the project grew in the 1980s  resulting in a $15 million allocation from the state of North Carolina,  approval of a $15 million bond by the citizens of Charlotte and an  additional $32 million contributed by individuals, corporations and  foundations. In 1987 the Belk Brothers donated a valuable piece of land  as the site of the new theatre complex. Total construction cost for the  Blumenthal Center was over $62 million.</p>
<p>Blumenthal Center guests can disembark at the Charlotte Transportation  Center/Arena Station on E. Trade Street, only a block from Founders Hall  and the <strong><a title="Belk Theater" href="http://www.belktheatre.org/?utm_source=usoperaweb.com&amp;utm_medium=belktheater.org&amp;utm_campaign=usoperaweb.com">Belk Theater</a></strong> and <strong><a title="Booth Playhouse Tickets" href="http://www.boothplayhouse.com/?utm_source=usoperaweb.com&amp;utm_medium=boothplayhouse.com&amp;utm_campaign=usoperaweb.com">Booth  Playhouse</a></strong>. Guests attending shows at Spirit Square’s  McGlohon Theatre or Duke Power Theatre will enjoy similar easy access  from the Seventh Street Station.</p>
