    <title>Bass Concert Hall</title>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;On January 23, 2009 we re-open Bass Concert Hall with a two-week celebration of diverse events to showcase all the things we present to Austin and the University of Texas at Austin community. World-Class Fine Arts. Major Concert Attractions. The Best of Broadway. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Completed in 1981, this flagship theatre of the Performing Arts Center is the largest in Austin, with seating for 2,800. The Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Concert Hall boasts a vast stage, an orchestra pit capable of holding 100 musicians, dressing rooms to accommodate more than 100 performers, computerized lighting, advanced sound and rigging systems, and a mammoth backstage area complete with workshops for carpentry, costumes, painting, metalwork and props. Ranking among the finest performance spaces in the country both in size and accoutrements, it is no wonder that Bass Concert Hall attracts the world&amp;rsquo;s greatest performers and full-scale productions.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
