| Arts and Culture |
| Boston is considered to be a highly intellectual city. Mark
Twain once wrote of it, In New York they ask "how much
money does he have?" In Philadelphia, they ask, "who
were his parents?" In Boston they ask, "how much does
he know?" It is also considered one of the most culturally
impressive cities in the world. The Theater District, south
of Boston Common, contains a number of ornate theatres, including
the Emerson Majestic and The Wang Center for the Performing
Arts. Avant garde theatres are scattered throughout the city,
especially along Huntington Avenue. The Boston Ballet is a world-renowned
classical dance company. The Boston Globe Jazz and Blues Festival
takes place each June; the Boston Early Music Festival takes
place every odd-numbered year. The Boston Film Festival is held
annually in early September. The weekend following Labor Day,
the boutiques on Newbury Street close as over thirty art galleries
spill out onto the street, providing unlimited access to their
contents during Art Newbury Street. |
| Boston is also home to a wide array of musical
talent, from bands like the Cars, Dropkick Murphys, and Aerosmith,
to the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Boston Pops, the Boston
Symphony Chamber Players, the Boston Philharmonic, and the Boston
Lyric Opera Company, among many others. |
