Once you get past the theme parks and cheap souvenir shops, Orlando, FL has a lot to offer the cultured person. Most of us think of this city as being only a child's wonderland, but it really does have a lot to offer adults as well. The Bob Carr Performing Arts Center is just one of the popular venues you can choose for an evening out that you won't soon forget. The center was built in 1926 and offered its first event, the opera "Aida", in February of 1927. One of the biggest attractions to the center back then is its size. This place can comfortably seat 2434 people. For the time, that was tremendous and still is. In the mid 1970's, the powers that be in Orlando decided that the Bob Carr Performing Arts Center needed a facelift. Improved lighting, sound, and electronic equipment were just a few of the improvements made.
You might be wondering what kinds of events are popular in the center. The answer is pretty long. Depending on the current schedule, you can indulge in Broadway productions, a variety of operas, or listen to the music of Orlando based symphonies or traveling ones. It's not uncommon for ballet and dance troupes to be scheduled as well. When you are in the mood for fine arts entertainment, you can't find a better location than the Bob Carr Performing Arts Center to wallow in your passion. Be sure to purchase your tickets in advance to ensure you have a place in the auditorium and get to see the show you want.
