About Bea Spachner, the Woman Behind “The Bea Hive”:
In the decades since its 1889 unveiling, The Auditorium was a wellspring for the finest artistic programming, a glittering jewel in one of the world’s greatest cities. But by the 1960s, The Auditorium had fallen into disrepair and was in danger of being demolished. A handful of visionaries recognized the promise this once-grand venue contained. These civic leaders were led by one woman, Ms. Bea Spachner, who oversaw a monumental campaign to help restore The Auditorium to its former glory.
Driven by Bea’s infectious energy, the restoration work progressed unabated and The Auditorium was slowly transformed. Finally, on a triumphant night in 1967, The Auditorium was officially reborn and reclaimed its position of prominence in the worlds of arts, culture, and architecture. The Bea Hive is a tribute to our history. It is a tribute to our rebirth. And it is a tribute to our Queen…Bea.
