Dayton Performing Arts Alliance

The Dayton Performing Arts Alliance unites the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra, Dayton Opera, and Dayton Ballet under one organizational umbrella, creating a remarkably integrated performing arts institution for a mid-sized American city. Performing primarily at the Schuster Performing Arts Center, the Alliance delivers a breadth of programming—from symphonic concerts and full-scale opera to classical and contemporary dance—that rivals cities many times Dayton's size. This collaborative model has become a national example of sustainable arts management.
