Iowa also has a thriving music and theater scene. Symphonies
draw classical music lovers, and the Des Moines Metro Opera
is a world-famous repertory company. Broadway shows such as
"Miss Saigon," "Cats" and "The Phantom
of the Opera" include Iowa stops on their tours. Big name
musical acts -- Van Halen, Garth Brooks, The Rolling Stones
and Elton John have all played to sell-out Iowa crowds.
Plus, there are hundreds of smaller venues around the state where you can see everything from one-act plays to red-hot blues bands.
Come summertime, you can even find the arts outdoors. Grab a
blanket or a lawn chair to enjoy "Jazz in July" concerts
or "Shakespeare in the Park." |
