Abstract Opera Theater of Seoul Arts Center opened in 1993 is the opera-house representing our Country in the respects of the peculiar architectural form and its scale, with the shape symbolizing "Gatmouri"(Mount Ridge Beam). However, by passing 16 years since its construction, the facility has been gradually superannuated, and due to the fire broke out during the public performance in December, 2007, a necessity to do remodelling on the most of inside interiors had been arisen. Accordingly, in order to improve the acoustic characteristics of the Opera Theater, this Study has proposed the Change of Form and Finishing Materials on the spectator-seat, wall, Proscenium Arch using the Computer Simulation of Odeon 4.21 after a sound fault grasp of opera theater, at its remodelling stage. Likewise, at the Opera Theater newly constructed based on the suggested design materials, as the result of evaluation on the characteristics after conduct an actual survey on the acoustic performance using the symponie, the micro phhone and the DAT recorder prior to its Opening, it could be known that the acoustic performance was maintaining on more suitable acoustic condition of SPL, RT, D50, C80, Echo to the Opera Theater after remodelling work than the initial construction.
