Shows in Detroit

Detroit Symphony Orchestra is one of America's great orchestras — a Midtown Detroit institution whose extraordinary live streaming program (the first major orchestra to live stream all performances, reaching global audiences) and consistent artistic excellence create a classical music experience of genuine national and international significance. The DSO's remarkable role in Detroit's cultural life and its extraordinary Orchestra Hall (one of the finest concert halls in America, beautifully restored) create a classical music experience of genuine Detroit cultural significance.

Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall is one of America's most beautiful concert halls — an 1919 Beaux Arts masterpiece that serves as the home of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, one of America's finest orchestral ensembles. The DSO's tradition of excellence, its extraordinary racial integration (the first major American orchestra to hire Black musicians in the 1940s), and its role in Detroit's cultural resilience through the city's decades of economic hardship make Orchestra Hall one of the most meaningful performing arts institutions in the United States.

Fox Theatre Detroit is one of America's most magnificent entertainment palaces — a 1928 Indo-Persian fantasy theater with 5,048 seats, gilded ceilings, and an interior of breathtaking ornamental excess that represents the ultimate expression of the golden age movie palace. Its consistent presentation of Broadway touring productions, major concerts, and significant performances in one of the most beautiful interiors in American entertainment history makes it Detroit's most cherished cultural venue.

Michigan Opera Theatre presents the Detroit Opera House — a 2,700-seat venue presenting opera, ballet, and major concerts in a beautifully restored 1922 United Artists theater. Detroit's often-overlooked serious arts culture, which has produced extraordinary classical musicians and maintained the DSO and Detroit Opera through the city's hardest decades, finds a worthy home in the extraordinary ornamental excess of the Detroit Opera House.
