1 Best Performing Art in Denver, Colorado

Denver Performing Arts Complex

Downtown Fodor's choice

This huge complex, composed of an impressively high-tech group of theaters, hosts more shows—from classical orchestras to interactive experiences to Hamilton—than any other performing arts center in the world. Spread over a four-block area, the eight theaters are connected by a soaring glass archway to a futuristic symphony hall. The complex anchors are the round Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre, built in 1991, and the ornate Ellie Caulkins Opera House, which occupies the former Auditorium Theatre built in 1908. The other six theaters include the small Garner Galleria Theatre and the midsize Kilstrom Theatre. The symphony, ballet, and opera have their seasons here. The complex has been run by the Denver Center for the Performing Arts since 1972.
