Houston Theater District
Seventeen downtown blocks host four resident companies in opera, ballet, symphony, and drama, with seating second only to Broadway in New York.
Located in northwest downtown, this theater district is billed as the second-largest concentration of theater seats in the United States. The Houston Grand Opera and Houston Ballet perform at the Wortham Center, the Houston Symphony plays at Jones Hall, and the Alley Theatre is known for its original dramas. The Hobby Center hosts Broadway tours. The season generally runs from September to May, and tickets can be bought on each company's website. Tunnels and parking garages connect the theaters underground.
