Center for the performing arts |
260 South Church Avenue Tucson, AZ 85701 United States +1 520 791 4101 http://www.ci.tucson.az.us/tcc/ |
This is Tucson's main venue for the performing arts, home of the Tucson Symphony Orchestra and the Arizona Opera, as well as the locale for pop music concerts, sports events and major trade conventions. A typical result of 1970s style urban renewal, it is only mildly interesting (stylistically) compared to the old adobe buildings that were bulldozed to make room for what now stands. However, some abstract sculptures and fountains outside the complex provide food for the art lover's imagination. There are three performance venues- Tucson Arena, Tucson Music Hall, and the Leo Rich Theater. See their website for a list of events. Review © 2007, Wcities |
