The downtown location of a number of theaters and opera. To the west is a spectacular 30 ft. tall modern sculpture.

Watched Les Miserables on a Thursday and it was fantastic! Great show that would give the place a top rating no matter what the circumstances. Paid 55 dollars for “limited view seating,” but it really wasn’t too bad. I could see the entire stage. Sometimes the actors’ backs were to us because we were off to the side. Nonetheless I... More

We went to see Les Miserables over Memorial Day weekend and the show was wonderful. The staff was a little cranky - don't think they wanted to be there and showed it well. Great venue. I would recommend getting drinks before and/or after the show - very expensive here!

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. It is two stories high and runs about the entire city block. Once you get dropped off you are under the roof and dry. Several venues in once place. Parking... More
