The Wortham Center is home to Houston Ballet and Houston Grand Opera. Since its opening in 1987, Wortham has entertained more than 8 million people.

Bold and beautiful, the Wortham is a facility like no other. It is a masterful, creative playground for performing artists and offers an array of public spaces, both monumental and intimate. Eugene Aubry of Morris Aubry Architects designed the Wortham Center.

The Wortham Center has two theaters, the Alice and George Brown Theater and the Lillie and Roy Cullen Theater.

At 2,405 seats, the Brown is the larger theater with a 17,000-square foot stage used primarily for major performances by our resident companies, Houston Ballet and Houston Grand Opera. Despite its size, no seat is more than 138 feet from the stage.
