The Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Performance Hall complex is the crown jewel of a city which boasts the nation's third largest cultural district. Built entirely with private funds, Bass Performance Hall is permanent home to the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, Texas Ballet Theater, Fort Worth Opera, and the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition and Cliburn Concerts. It also hosts special productions of Casa Mañana Musicals and presents Performing Arts Fort Worth's "Hall Series," a popular array of eclectic entertainment.
The 2,056-seat multipurpose Hall is characteristic of the classic European opera house form. The Hall itself is renowned for its superb acoustics, exceptional sight lines and ambience on level with the great halls of the world.
In 2001, the adjacent Maddox-Muse Center officially opened, and, with it, the new Van Cliburn Recital Hall and the McNair Rehearsal Studio. In 2006, McNair was renamed the McDavid Studio.
