The Music Hall at Fair Park (originally the Fair Park Auditorium or State Fair Auditorium) is a performing arts theater in Dallas, Texas's Fair Park that opened in 1925.[2]
The building features Spanish Baroque architecture with Moorish influences, including six stair towers topped with cast domes and arcade porches overlooking Fair Park. Air conditioning was installed in 1954, and in 1972, the Hall underwent a remodel that included an expanded lobby and restaurant. It was further refurbished and updated in 1999. Due to its spacious design, the Music Hall is widely recognized as a venue for Broadway musical touring companies and hosts various large-scale public and private events. The Music Hall is currently home to the Dallas Summer Musicals and was home to the Dallas Opera from 1957 to 2009.
In July 2024, as part of 2024 Major League Baseball All-Star Game festivities, Jimmy Kimmel Live originated from the Music Hall.
