Gallo Center for the Arts

The Gallo Center for the Arts is a performing arts venue in Modesto with two theaters of different sizes for various types of events. The larger theater seats about 1,200 people, while the smaller theater accommodates about 440.

Construction began in 2004 and was completed by 2007, with substantial financial resources invested in the project. The facility was built in response to demand for quality performing arts options in the region.

The center is home to several resident companies, including the Central West Ballet and the Modesto Symphony Orchestra, which offer classical performances throughout the year. These groups shape the city's cultural life through regular presentations.

The facility is easy to access and provides comfortable visiting conditions with clear orientation in both theaters. It is recommended to arrive early to explore the venue and become familiar with the different entrances and areas.

Patti LuPone performed as the first artist in the larger theater, marking the beginning of a series of Broadway productions at this venue. This connection to major theatrical productions has continued and draws performers of national significance.
