For a city of its size, Tucson is abuzz with cultural activity. It's one of only 14 cities in the United States with a symphony as well as opera, theater, and ballet companies. Wintertime, when Tucson's population swells with vacationers, is the high season, but the arts are alive and well year-round. The low cost of Tucson's cu

For a city of its size, Tucson is abuzz with cultural activity. It's one of only 14 cities in the United States with a symphony as well as opera, theater, and ballet companies. Wintertime, when Tucson's population swells with vacationers, is the high season, but the arts are alive and well year-round. The low cost of Tucson's cultural events comes as a pleasant surprise to those accustomed to paying East or West Coast prices: concert tickets are as little as $20 for some performances, and touring Broadway musicals can often be seen for $35. Parking is plentiful and frequently free.
The free Tucson Weekly (www.tucsonweekly.com) and the "Caliente" section of the Arizona Daily Starwww.azstarnet.com) both hit the stands on Thursday, and have listings of what's going on in town.
From September through May, Arizona's
state theater performs classical pieces, contemporary drama,
and musical comedy at the historic Temple of Music and Art.
It's worth coming just to see the beautifully restored
historic Spanish colonial–Moorish-style theater; dinner at
the adjoining Temple Lounge is a tasty prelude.
This company presents new stories of the
Southwest border region—often multicultural and bilingual—at
venues throughout Tucson, usually from September through
April.
Children of all ages love the clever, original
melodramas at the Gaslight Theatre, where hissing at the
villain and cheering the hero are part of the
audience's duty.
