Performing Arts
With two symphony orchestras, opera companies, a plethora of theatre companies, and renowned music and dance festivals, Maine offers an exquisite menu of performing arts and cultural entertainment. The grandfather of performing arts in Maine is the Bangor Symphony Orchestra which has been in continuous service since 1896, making it the oldest community orchestra in the country.
Maine is home to professional theatre companies as well as community theatre groups that perform stage productions throughout the state, including a popular Shakespeare series. Venues for theatrical productions range from the outdoor Elizabethan Theatre along the banks of the Penobscot River in Bangor, to charming 19th Century renovated opera houses. Come experience Maine’s rich performing arts tradition.
