We always have a good time when we go here, whether it's for a play or concert. They only seem to do quality productions. Great for a special night out.

I am always excited to go to The Denver Center for the Performing Arts. There are so many options when it comes to shows. It is also great to see shows return. I have had the chance to attend a variety of shows at a variety of the different stages, and haven't really been disappointed. I love that each stage... More

We went to the opera house on open day and were impressed by the quality & design of the venue. The seats are particularly comfortable with "tilting" backs that give great support. Each seat had a language convertor that could be plugged in to. A reL asset for such a small city.

The locatin in downtown Denver was right across the street from our hotel (The Curtis) and they have a designer style arched roof over the top of the entire district.

DCPA is a wonderful resource in the city. There are plays, (including Broadway road shows) concerts, opera and dance with something for everyone. The quality is very high and the price compared to Broadway, NYC very reasonable. the ambiance itself, with many events occurring at the same time is stimulating. There are also several restaurants located there.

I see about 3 performances a year here with my family and they are greatly anticipated! High quality productions in a beautiful setting. Have fun dressing up for the evening show or go comfortable for the matinee. Everything from booster seats to eye glass rentals and snacks to make you comfortable. Not cheap, but a great value!

The Denver Center brings to Denver great theater, a good orchestra, traveling shows/musicals, and good opera. The opera house is beautiful having been redone only a few years ago. We enjoy the three smaller theaters in which varied plays are performed - all top quality. Parking is convenient in the Center and at a fair price.

If you haven't been, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts is a great place to see a show. It's a unique venue and I love that all of the theaters are located within one area. Great dining options available in the same center and parking is plentiful!
