The mission of the Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Performance Hall is to serve as a permanent home to major performing arts organizations of Fort Worth and as a premiere venue for other attractions so as to enhance the range, quality, and accessibility of cultural fare available to the public; to promulgate arts education; and to contribute to the cultural life of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, and the region. Performing Arts Fort Worth, the non-profit organization that oversees management of the Hall, presents national touring Broadway product under the Broadway at the Bass supported by Sewell banner, as well as programming that includes Family Series at the Bass, and the BNSF Popular Entertainment Series. Built entirely with private funds, Bass Performance Hall is also permanent home to the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, Texas Ballet Theater, Fort Worth Opera, and the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition and Cliburn Concerts. Each resident company operates independently from Performing Arts Fort Worth and manages its own programming schedule at Bass Hall. The 2,056-seat multipurpose Hall is characteristic of the classic European opera house form. The Hall itself is renowned for its superb acoustics, exceptional sight lines and ambience on level with the great halls of the world. Bass Performance Hall is located on full city block in the historic Sundance Square district of downtown Fort Worth.
