Hello! Two questions at the end of the post. I'm running Hell's Rebels through Roll20 and we're heading into the Ruby Masquarade soon (I'm very excited!). In adapting the maps (digital map packs with tags off from Paizo have been great!) to VTT, I noticed that the Opera House is not consistently sized through the AP!
According to the map of Kintargo and the scale on the map, the Opera house occupies a space around 220 ft by 180 ft (Hell's Bright Shadow, p. 64), while the interior map in Dance of the Damned (p. 44) has dimensions of 110 ft by 90 ft (exactly half) according to the scale on that map. The Kintargo Opera House map in Curtain Call (which I just bought) is consistent with the smaller size.
The Aria Park Protest map (Hell's Bright Shadow, p. 8) is consistent with the larger size Opera House.
So I'm a nerd, and tried to estimate out the seating, and with the smaller Opera House I can get ~300 audience members in, tops. In the Gazetteer in Hell's Bright Shadow it says the Opera House can seat a thousand people (p. 65), which would be more consistent with the larger 220 ft by 180 ft size.
The smaller size seems too small for all of the stuff that's supposed to go down during the Ruby Masquerade, so I started poking around to see what anyone else has done, and I've so far found nothing on this specifically.
For those who've run this AP, does the Opera House's size matter?
Am I the first one to notice the discrepancy and/or bother to think about it? It's driving me a little crazy.

Over a decade ago it was pointed out and James Jacobs clarified that the scale is supposed to be 10' per square instead of 5'. It's discussed in the pinned thread for Dance of the Damned HERE
