Straz Center for the Performing Arts

attractions★ 4.7 (7,327)

Opened in 1987 on the Hillsborough River, the Straz is a 335,000-square-foot, five-theater complex — the second-largest of its kind in the Southeast — anchored by the 2,610-seat Carol Morsani Hall. It runs a leading Broadway series and is one of the few US centers that produces its own grand opera, drawing about 600,000 guests a year. This is downtown Tampa's marquee night out.

Local tip

For big Broadway tours, buy early — the best seats in the 2,610-seat Morsani Hall sell out well ahead.
