The Nashville’s Children’s Theatre is also housed in the center. The Nashville Opera is a professional opera company and currently offers four fully staged opera productions during an annual season. The production of Puccini’s La Boheme was a favorite among attendees last year. In addition, the center is home to the Nashville Ballet. The company is Middle Tennessee’s second largest performing arts organization and an accomplished ensemble in demand locally and internationally.

Just a few short years ago, another large performing arts center, the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, opened and is where you can come to enjoy the classics with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. In addition to performing a broad range of classical, pops and jazz concerts, and children’s concerts, music education is a top priority for the Symphony.
