Houston Theater District

This downtown district is home to the city's opera, theater, symphony and ballet, making Houston one of the few US cities with resident companies.

The Houston Grand Opera and the Houston Ballet both perform at the Wortham Theater Center, noted for its six story grand foyer; the Houston Symphony performs in the block-sized Jones Hall, easily identified by its facade of travertine marble.

The professional theater company, one of the three oldest resident companies in the nation, performs at The Alley Theater which offers a balcony with a view of the city skyline.
