A sripped-down, love-it-or-hate-it design and excellent acoustics and sight lines are the Harris Theater's claims to fame.

The sleek Harris Theater prides itself on being the area’s least pretentious theater for brand-name acts. The home of numerous forward-thinking new music groups (Fulcrum Point New Music Project, eighth blackbird), the Chicago Opera Theater, the CSO’s MusicNOW series and the city’s bigger dance troupes, the Harris is Chicago’s best mainstream-alternative hall, if that’s not a contradiction in terms.
