The Wortham is one of the premier performing arts venues in the country and arguably can take a place with Lincoln Center and a very few others as a triumph of the arts.

I think we are very lucky to have such a wonderful theater district in Houston. I loved seeing the Nutcracker here many years ago.

The Wortham Center is a beautiful hall for ballet and opera. It has great sightlines, comfortable seats, and nice acoustics.

Don't go to NYC to see opera. This is a great venue for world class opera, HGO. And, they use supertitles. They have a restaurant in the lobby before the show.
