Most of the money was raised by the center's board. Other money came from tourist taxes and the city's contingency fund.
The expansion will add a new 1,700-seat theater that will eventually be home to the Orlando Philharmonic and Ballet.
Groundbreaking is scheduled for Monday.
The new theater is scheduled to open by 2020.
