{{Main|Arts in Atlanta}}
Atlanta is one of few United States cities with permanent, professional, and resident companies in all major performing arts disciplines: opera ([[Atlanta Opera]]), ballet ([[Atlanta Ballet]]), orchestral music ([[Atlanta Symphony Orchestra]]), and theater (the [[Alliance Theatre]]). Atlanta attracts many touring Broadway acts, concerts, shows, and exhibitions catering to a variety of interests. Atlanta's performing arts district is concentrated in [[Midtown Atlanta]] at the [[Woodruff Arts Center]], which is home to the [[Atlanta Symphony Orchestra]] and the [[Alliance Theatre]]. The city frequently hosts touring Broadway acts, especially at The [[Fox Theatre (Atlanta, Georgia)|Fox Theatre]], a historic landmark among the highest-grossing theaters of its size.<ref>{{cite web|quote="1988: ''Performance'' magazine names the Fox Theatre the number one grossing theater in the 3,000–5,000 seat category with the most events, the greatest box office receipts, and the highest attendance in the U.S. and 2009: Billboard magazine names the Fox the No. 1 non-residency theater for the decade with 5,000 seats or less."|url=http://www.foxtheatre.org/foxtimeline.aspx|title=Fox Timeline|website=Fox Theatre|access-date=February 19, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140314030422/https://foxtheatre.org/foxtimeline.aspx|archive-date=March 14, 2014}}</ref>
