New Jersey’s Crown Cultural Jewel
Nationally acclaimed by critics and audiences alike, the New Jersey Performing Arts Center opened in October of 1997 after a decade of planning and a capital campaign that resulted in $187 million. As the last magnificent performing arts center to open in the 20th century, NJPAC is regarded as one of the nation’s finest venues. Showcasing the world’s greatest performers and New Jersey’s leading talent, NJPAC offers a full calendar of exciting events and a nationally recognized Arts Education program. Breathtaking artistry at NJPAC combines with equally dazzling venues. Prudential Hall has been praised as “one of the world’s great concert halls,” and Victoria Theater has also been dubbed “a gem” by The New York Times.
