The Performing Arts Center has three performance spaces: the 2,100-seat Belk Theater; the 434-seat Booth Playhouse, and the Stage Door Theater which seats 150.
The Center presents the Broadway Lights Series, featuring national touring Broadway productions and a wide range of special attractions. Additionally, the Center’s Education Institute and Community Programs Division develop innovative partnerships with schools and community organizations to bring the performing arts to life for people throughout the region.
The Center is home to the seasons of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, Opera Carolina, North Carolina Dance Theatre, Carolina Voices, the Carolinas Concert Association, ArtsTeach, Community School of the Arts, and the Light Factory.
The Blumenthal Performing Arts Center is adjacent to Bank of America Corporate Center and includes two theaters for the Charlotte Symphony, Broadway Lights Series plays, and other presentations. The art deco Hearst Tower is the newest skyscraper to dot the Charlotte skyline and is really cool because the top is actually bigger than the bottom.
