"The Paramount Theater is an Art Deco movie theater located in downtown Oakland, California in the United States of America, designed by architect Timothy L. Pflueger, who also designed San Francisco's Castro Theatre.
The 3,040-seat theater has since reopened after undergoing an extensive restoration and currently houses the Oakland East Bay Symphony, as well as showing movies. It also regularly features other national acts, especially R&B acts such as Alicia Keys, Brian McKnight, James Brown, Mary J Blige as well as other acts such as Britney Spears, Nelly Furtado, Björk." - Wikipedia
