This huge complex, composed of an impressively high-tech group of theaters, hosts more shows—from classical orchestras to Jay Leno to Wicked—than any other performing arts center in the world. Spread over a four-block area, the eight theaters are connected by a soaring glass archway to a futuristic symphony hall. The complex anchors are the round Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre, built in 1991, and the ornate Ellie Caulkins Opera House, which occupies the former Auditorium Theatre built in 1908. The other six theaters include the small Garner Galleria Theatre and the midsize Space Theatre. The symphony, ballet, and opera have their seasons here. The complex has been run by the Denver Center for the Performing Arts since 1972, and 90-minute guided tours that take you behind the scenes are available by reservation Monday and Saturday for $12 per person; customized tours can also be arranged.

The exquisite 9,000-seat Red Rocks Amphitheatre, amid majestic geological formations in nearby Morrison, is renowned for its natural acoustics, which have awed the likes of Leopold Stokowski and the Beatles. Although Red Rocks is one of the best places in the country to hear live music, be sure to leave extra time when visiting—parking is sparse, crowds are thick, paths are long and extremely uphill, and seating is usually general admission.

This Greenwood Village–based venue has changed names over the years. Most recently it was Comfort Dental Amphitheatre, but now has reverted back to its original Fiddler's Green. While the name keeps changing, the platform remains the same—large outdoor summer concerts. Although many compare this nondescript amphitheater unfavorably to Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre near Morrison, Colorado, regular concertgoers may find Fiddler, with its small details, such as ample parking and individual seating, more comfortable than Red Rocks.
