Tel Aviv is also home to a dynamic performing arts scene, including the iconic Batsheva Dance Company and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra led by Zubin Mehta.

The Friday editions of the English-language Jerusalem Post and Haaretz contain extensive entertainment listings for the entire country. There are a handful of mostly online ticket agencies for performances in Tel Aviv.

  • 4. Habima National Theater

    This troupe is rooted in the Russian Revolution, when a group of young Jewish artists established a theater company that performed in Hebrew—this at a time when Hebrew was barely a living language. Subsequent tours through Europe and the United States in the 1920s won wide acclaim. Many of the group's members moved to Israel and helped establish a theater company that now inhabits multiple spaces, including a nicely renovated complex at Habima Square. Even though the vast majority of productions are in Hebrew, many are also simultaneously translated into English.
