IONEER CENTER FOR THE
PERFORMING ARTS

Glamour Under the Gold Dome

The Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts is
not just a great place to take in some high-
quality arts and entertainment, it’s also a
beautiful fixture of the city of Reno. Created in
the late 1960s, the Center features a stunning
gold dome roof. The building is listed on the
U.S. National Register of Historic Places,
making it a must visit stop whether you’re
visiting from away or looking to play tourist in
your own town. The Pioneer Center can seat
about 1,500 people, making it the largest venue
devoted to the performing arts in Northern
Nevada.

Each year, the Center presents an array of
cultural offerings, including orchestral music,
ballet, and opera, and other arts programming,
including, for the last nineteen years, the
special “Broadway Comes to Reno” series.
For families or couples looking to make a
special night out of their visit to the Pioneer
Center for the Performing Arts, you can choose
from several area restaurants before or after
the show. The Wild River Grille even offers a
special three course prix fixe menu on evenings
when a Broadway show or the philharmonic
orchestra plays, which can help make your
evening both unforgettable and affordable.

Experiencing the best of what the arts and
cultural world has to offer right here in Reno is
one of many reasons why we’re proud
to call this city our home. For more information
