NEXT EVENT: Bass Performance
Hall Tour plus Lunch, Fort Worth, TX, Saturday, August 3, 9:50am
Our
hot weather event will be a guided tour of the magnificent Bass Performance Hall. The
2,042-seat multipurpose Hall is characteristic of the classic European opera
house form. An 80-foot diameter Great Dome, artfully painted by Fort Worth
artists, tops the Founders Concert Theater. Two 48-foot tall angels, sculpted
from Texas limestone, grace the Grand Facade. The Hall is renowned for its
superb acoustics, exceptional sight lines and ambience on level with the great
halls of the world. Its construction and progress were eagerly followed
and it caused a sensation when it was opened to the public. The 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.
After the Bass Hall tour, we will enjoy a group lunch (pay your own) at Jake's
Hamburgers a short walk away.
