Shows in Madison

Overture Center for the Arts is Madison's most ambitious cultural investment — a seven-venue performing arts complex on State Street presenting the Madison Symphony, Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra, and Broadway touring productions in a $230 million Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation-designed complex. Its extraordinary scale for a mid-size city reflects Madison's identity as Wisconsin's most culturally sophisticated community, driven by the University of Wisconsin's presence and the state government's professional population.

Overture Center's multiple theaters present Madison Symphony Orchestra, Madison Opera, Madison Ballet, and major touring shows — making it the most important performing arts complex in Wisconsin outside Milwaukee. Madison's extraordinary educational culture (the University of Wisconsin creates one of the most arts-literate audiences in America) and Overture's remarkable programming breadth create a performing arts center of genuine Wisconsin educational and cultural significance.
