“Popejoy Hall brings great performances to NM”
Annually, Popejoy presents a diverse lineup of shows, from top-tier musical theater to classical ballet, drama, comedy, and circus-style productions. It also hosts the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra, which offers classical concerts and Pops performances that attract a younger crowd. The theater has new, much more comfortable seats and an upgraded sound system with excellent acoustics. An excellent location for enjoying New Mexico's finest performing arts.
