Bass Performance Hall
Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Performance Hall
A downtown performance hall in the style of a European opera house. Two giant angel statues on its facade are city landmarks, and it hosts Broadway, opera, and symphony performances.
The Bass Performance Hall opened in 1998. It was designed after traditional European opera houses. Two limestone angel statues, each about 15 meters tall and holding trumpets, stand on the facade and have become landmarks of downtown Fort Worth. Inside are five tiers of boxes and a painted dome. The hall is home to the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, Texas Ballet Theater, Fort Worth Opera, and the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. Touring Broadway productions also perform here. You can take photos of the exterior without attending a show, and public tours are occasionally offered. It is next to Sundance Square.
