The following are all resident companies of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. They stage their productions at the Kimmel’s Verizon Hall and Perelman Theater and at the Academy of Music, along Philadelphia’s Avenue of the Arts.

The headliners are musicians of the Philadelphia Orchestra, who are affectionately called “The Famous Philadelphians.” The Orchestra is world-renowned for its music. Hearing an Orchestra concert live at Kimmel’s Verizon Hall is a most memorable cultural experience, whether you sit in the orchestra or in the top balcony.

Whether it’s the Opera, the Ballet or Peter Nero and the Philly Pops, in the course of every season, there is a performance that will delight you. The offerings are diverse. Check each website to see what touches your artistic soul.
