Starling Gallery

The Starling Gallery is an Opera House, Gallery, and Exhibition hall in the Glass Quarter, established in the Hot Cycle of 721.

The Lavish building has seen renovation in that time, and sports several features and floorplans that allow for a large operation. The basement level is where the kitchen staff, concessions, and various concierges converge to make the operation above run smoothly and provide food for the guests of the Starling Gallery, as well as provide a work force for the upstairs.

The ground floor features a large audience hall in the center, beyond a spacious foyer which has a lot of room for the display of exotic art pieces and other sorts of artistic exhibitions. Here, the guests can mingle before reaching the audience hall for the evenings entertainment, if any is on offer. A set of stairs lead up from the foyer, which open up into a great rooftop garden and aviary, where all manner of exotic birds are cared for and nurtured. The garden of the rooftop courtyard allows the guests to breathe fresh air when needed. The acoustic design of the Audience Hall allows for the sounds of performance to travel up through certain sonic channels in the construction, which the birds seem to enjoy well enough.

Inside the Audience Hall, there's a large stage where performances and exhibitions are held, sometimes even headliner fights and brawls. Backstage is where the performers ready themselves for the night's entertainment, and where the rest of the staff prepares for the engagement with a series of props, musical equipment, and so on.

Prices

Guests are allowed into the foyer and garden to admire the artwork for free. The only condition is that that they wear formal clothing and remain on good behavior, taking any fights outside the establishment. (Clothing of at least good quality)
Common Seating: Tier 3 (Or 1 WP)

Other information: Samona is a vocal prodigy who was discovered as she studied and grew in talent in Madame Austere's School. Being born from a rich family in Rharne, she was given every advantage when it comes to finding success in her chosen endeavors. Yet for all that, she remains humble and easy to work with, which has led in part to her supplanting one of the more famous Opera singers in Rharne during said singers's sudden onset of illness. She's new to the career as a vocalist and has yet to establish much of a presence on the entertainment scene of Rharne. She was brought on quickly to Kalortah's newly opening gallery and opera house in the Glass Quarter, when it was heard that the former singer she'd replaced conspired to have her fired, for fear that she'd upstage her.
