This 1897 neo-baroque theater is the home of the excellent National Symphony Orchestra, which performs on several Friday evenings and Sunday mornings between March and November. The theater also hosts visiting musical groups and dance companies. Tickets are $10–$50—far less than you'd pay for a comparable production back home.
San José's second-most-popular theater has a full calendar of music and dance shows, as well as a few offbeat productions. There is something on a couple of nights a week; tickets are $5–$25.
