About Temple of Music and Art

Temple of Music and Art opened in 1927 and was restored and reopened in 1990 after a major renovation. Owned by the City of Tucson, the building serves as the performance home of Arizona Theatre Company in its main auditorium, the Alice Holsclaw Theatre. The theater seats approximately 600 guests across orchestra and balcony levels, and the building also includes the smaller Cabaret Theatre space.

Known locally as The Temple, the venue is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and remains one of Tucson’s premier historic performing-arts spaces. Arizona Theatre Company presents a full Tucson season of plays and musicals here, while Arizona Opera also uses the venue for opera performances. The event calendar extends to concerts, recitals, cabaret performances, cinema series screenings, and community arts programming.

The venue is distinguished by ornamental tilework, arched detailing, a landscaped courtyard with a fountain, and an intimate proscenium-stage auditorium designed for close, personal performance.

Location & Transportation

Temple of Music and Art is located at 330 S. Scott Avenue, Tucson, AZ 85701 — in downtown Tucson’s arts district, within reach of the city’s streetcar, buses, restaurants, hotels, and public parking.

Transit: The venue is walkable to the Sun Link Tucson Streetcar, which connects downtown Tucson, the Fourth Avenue district, and the University of Arizona. Sun Tran bus routes also serve the downtown core, making transit a practical option for many theatergoers.

Driving and Parking: Street parking and nearby public parking garages serve the downtown area, including city lots and garages within a short walk of the venue. Downtown lots can fill on busy event evenings, so arriving early gives you more time to park, walk to the theater, and get seated before curtain.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are straightforward at the downtown location. When a performance lets out, brief waits can happen if nearby events overlap, so allow a little extra time after the show.

Nearby Accommodation: Downtown Tucson hotels are within walking distance or a short ride of Temple of Music and Art. Additional lodging is available near the University of Arizona and along the I-10 corridor.

Venue Navigation

Temple of Music and Art has a compact theater layout centered on its historic lobby, courtyard access, and two-level Alice Holsclaw Theatre. Understanding whether your seats are in the orchestra or balcony helps you move through the venue quickly and settle in before the performance begins.

Entrances and Access: Main entry is from S. Scott Avenue through the historic facade and courtyard into the lobby serving the main auditorium.

Seating Levels: The Alice Holsclaw Theatre is arranged with an orchestra level on the main floor and a balcony above it. The balcony overhangs the rear of the orchestra, and the building also includes a separate Cabaret Theatre for smaller, more intimate programming.

Accessibility: The House Manager and trained volunteers assist patrons with directions and accommodations. Accessible seating and services are available, and guests needing specific accommodations can arrange them ahead of arrival.

Getting to Your Section: Ushers and volunteers direct patrons to orchestra and balcony seating. Because the auditorium is intimate, most seats are a short walk from the lobby.

How Much Do Tickets to Temple of Music and Art Cost?

Temple of Music and Art ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the production or performer, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from cabaret and cinema series events to Arizona Theatre Company productions, opera, and concerts.

For Arizona Theatre Company plays and musicals, tickets are approximately $25–$95 depending on the production, seating level, and performance date. Prime orchestra seats and high-demand dates generally sit toward the higher end of that range.

For opera and concert performances, tickets are approximately $30–$100 or more depending on the production and seat location. Center orchestra and other high-demand areas can carry premium pricing, especially for popular performances.

For cabaret, cinema series, and smaller events, tickets can start lower, often in the $15–$40 range. These events can be a strong value for audiences looking to experience the venue in a more intimate format.

Buying earlier generally secures better seat selection and pricing, especially for popular productions and prime orchestra seats. As inventory shrinks and the date approaches, the best remaining seats often become more expensive or harder to find together.

Temple of Music and Art Seating Guide

Temple of Music and Art offers an intimate two-level theater layout with an orchestra level and balcony, making sightline, overhang, and distance from the stage important when choosing seats. The balcony overhangs the rear orchestra rows, noted around orchestra row H, which can affect overhead coverage and the way the room feels from the back of the main floor.

Best Seats at Temple of Music and Art

• Best value: Rear orchestra and upper balcony rows are typically the most affordable options while still keeping you inside a compact, performance-focused room.
• Closest to the action: Front orchestra rows put you nearest to the stage, making them ideal for theatergoers who want maximum proximity to performers.
• Best overall experience: Center orchestra, roughly mid-house, offers the strongest balance of sightline, perspective, and closeness in the Alice Holsclaw Theatre.
• Premium and suite options: Prime center-orchestra seating commands premium pricing because of its central view and balanced distance from the stage.
• For groups: Groups are best planned early, especially for popular productions, so seats can be coordinated together through the box office or presenter group-sales channels.

Getting Ready for Your Temple of Music and Art Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a historic downtown theater where parking, arrival timing, and pre-curtain seating all matter.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Downtown Tucson has reliable mobile coverage, but downloading digital tickets in advance is still wise before arrival. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Give yourself enough time for downtown parking and to be seated before curtain, since late seating may be held until a break in the performance.
• Wear the right footwear. Temple of Music and Art is a historic building with a balcony level accessed by stairs, while most seating is a short, level walk from the lobby. Comfortable shoes are useful for parking downtown and moving through the building.
• Dress in layers. The venue is indoors and climate-controlled, but the main exposure is walking to and from downtown parking before and after the performance.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Arriving early helps with downtown parking, streetcar timing, and getting settled before the show begins.
• Know your entrance. A single main entrance keeps arrival simple, and knowing whether your seats are orchestra or balcony helps you head the right way once you are inside.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
