Bass Performance Hall is one of Fort Worth's most distinctive theaters and performing arts venues. The 2,042-seat hall follows the form of a classic European opera house, while its monumental façade and signature angel sculptures give the building an immediately recognizable identity. It is a permanent home to major institutions including the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, Texas Ballet Theater and Fort Worth Opera, while also hosting Broadway productions, concerts and other touring performances.
The main auditorium, Founders Concert Theater, combines an elaborate interior with a large painted dome and acoustics designed for orchestral, operatic, theatrical and other live performances. Seating is arranged across several levels, from the orchestra and box tiers to the mezzanine and galleries, providing a range of perspectives toward the stage. Although designed as a multipurpose performance space, the hall retains the intimate atmosphere associated with a traditional opera house.
The venue is located at 525 Commerce St, Fort Worth, United States, in the central part of the city. Visitors arriving by car can use public parking garages within a short walk, as Bass Performance Hall does not operate its own parking garage.
