Madison’s many cultural opportunities rival those of much larger metropolitan areas. Between performances by the Madison Repertory Theater, Madison Opera and Madison Symphony, touring productions at the Overture Center for the Arts, and a full schedule of performances at the UW-Madison's many venues, there is world-class entertainment to be found just about any night.

The $205-million Overture Center for the Arts is located just blocks away from the UW-Madison campus. It houses the symphony, opera, Madison Museum of Contemporary Art and Madison Repertory Theater, and hosts touring theater, dance and music performances.
