The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts is a world-class venue in downtown Kansas City, designed by architect Moshe Safdie. Its glass-and-steel exterior and soaring lobby create a dramatic entrance. Inside, two halls, the Muriel Kauffman Theatre and Helzberg Hall, host the Kansas City Symphony, Lyric Opera, and Kansas City Ballet. Visitors can enjoy guided tours to learn about the building's design and technology, or attend a performance to experience the exceptional acoustics firsthand.
