Nightlife & the Arts in Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv is Israel's cultural capital, and it fulfills this role with relish. The Tel Aviv Art Museum, the city's major artistic venue (for concerts and lectures as well as the fine arts) is complemented by a host of galleries, especially along Gordon Street. The Israeli Opera has the finest local and foreign talents in classical and modern works. Tel Aviv is also home to the Israeli Philharmonic and a dynamic dance scene, including the iconic Bat Sheva Dance Company for modern dance, the Israel Ballet Company for classical, and two percussion troupes—Mayumana and Sheketek.
