Highmark Mann
Nonprofit performing arts center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
About
The Highmark Mann (formerly known as the Robin Hood Dell West, the Mann Music Center or The Mann Center for the Performing Arts) is a nonprofit performing arts center located in the Centennial District of Philadelphia's West Fairmount Park, built in 1976 as the summer home for the Philadelphia Orchestra. It is the successor in this role to the Robin Hood Dell outdoor amphitheater, where the Philadelphia Orchestra had given summer performances since 1930. Highmark Mann's campus includes an amphitheater, TD Pavilion at Highmark Mann, and a smaller open-air stage, the Skyline Stage at Highmark Mann.
The Mann has hosted artists and touring companies including the American Ballet Theatre with Mikhail Baryshnikov, Marian Anderson, Leonard Bernstein, Buena Vista Social Club, Ray Charles, Judy Garland, the Metropolitan Opera, Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Paul Robeson, Itzhak Perlman, Lang Lang, Midori, and Yo-Yo Ma. Major Philadelphia premieres have included the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Bolshoi Ballet and Orchestra's production of Spartacus, and Britain's Royal Ballet’s productions of Romeo and Juliet and Swan Lake.
