Art That Moves: 2023-2024 Season Announced!
It’s the anticipation of an orchestra tuning and the thrill of the performance. It’s the momentum of a dancer flying across the stage in a gravity-defying leap. It’s the deep sorrow you feel in the final moments of a heart-wrenching operatic performance and the calm reflection that follows. Nothing moves us like the performance arts. We can’t wait to share another soul-stirring season with you starting in September 2023.
Explore all upcoming Dayton Performing Arts Alliance performances and events below.
