 Beauty In Stone! by Yaqui
These angels are part of the spectacular The Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Performance Hall that seat 2,056 in a multipurpose Hall, designed by David M.Schwarz/Architectural Services, Inc. with acoustics by Jaffee, Holden, Acoustics, Inc., of the classic European opera house form. The beautiful 80-foot diameter Great Dome, artfully painted by Scott and Stuart Gentling, tops the Founders Concert Theater.

Bass Hall attracts performers from around the globe.
So if you think of cows when you think of Fort Worth...think of classy cows.
Modeled after Europe's great concert halls and New York's Carnegie Hall, Bass Hall is the crown jewel of downtown Fort Worth's renaissance. Open since 1998, it is named for Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass, the billionaires who deserve much of the credit for downtown's renovation. Besides its superb acoustics, Bass Hall has extraordinary architecture. Two huge limestone angels loom high above the street, holding golden trumpets.
We went there to see a performance for Khalil's birthday. It was a great experience. Leave a Comment Phone: 817-212-4200Directions: From I-30 traveling East: Take Forest Park Boulevard exit. Go left on Forest Park until it merges into Weatherford Street downtown.Website: http://www.basshall.com

Our first opportunity to experience a performance at BASS HALL was to see the semi-staged version of SHOW BOAT for our anniversary. Since then, we've enjoyed many classic concerts presented by the Fort Worth Symphony here.
Although the building appears to be much older, it opened for its first event in May of 1998. The two immense 48 foot tall angels decorating the exterior were sculpted in limestone by Marton Varo. I think they are absolutely gorgeous!
'Diana', a gilded bronze statue by Augustes Saint Gaudeas (1928) beautifies the lobby (pics 2- #3.) She was a gift of Amon G. Carter Foundation in memory of Bayard H. Friedman (1926-l998).
Bass hall is designed in the manner of the classic European opera houses with over 2,000 seats. A great dome, which is 80 feet in diameter, crowns the interior of the theatre. It features billowy blue clouds surrounded by a ring of feathers (pic #4)painted by Scott and Stuart Gentling.
A tiny gift shop is located in the lower level (pic #5). Bass Hall sits within Ft. Worth's cultural district, which is the third largest in the nation.
FYI: This attractive performance hall is named in honor of Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass. Phone: 817-212-4200Directions: From I-30 traveling East: Take Forest Park Boulevard exit. Go left on Forest Park until it merges into Weatherford Street downtown.Website: http://www.basshall.com

The celestial hierarchy annunciate the grandness of the philharmonic euphony within the palisade of white batholite.

 Bass Hall - Fort Worth, TX by MissAntarctica2002
During my visit we attended a free event sponsored by the Star-Telegram called Great Women Writers of Fort Worth. It was a very enjoyable interview, Q&A and book-signing session featuring Liz Smith, Sandra Brown, and Sally Jenkins. I gather that they put on these types of events quite often.
I highly encourage you to find any excuse you can to attend some sort of performance at Bass Performance Hall.
