=== Theatres ===
''[[Nō]]'' and ''[[Kyōgen]]'' theatre date back to the feudal times of the Owari Tokugawa lords. The [[Nagoya Noh Theater]] at Nagoya Castle continues that tradition and is a prominent feature in the cultural life of the city, with monthly performances.

Developed during the Edo period, one of Japan's ''[[kabuki]]'' grand stages is [[Misono-za]], which also hosts various other Japanese entertainment such as concerts.

In 1912, the musician Gorō Morita invented the [[Nagoya harp]] music instrument.

In 1992, the large, modern [[Aichi Arts Center]] was opened in Sakae. It is the main venue for [[performing art]]s, featuring a main hall that can be used for [[opera]] and theatre and a concert hall. The [[Nagoya Philharmonic Orchestra]] performs there, as well as many visiting guest orchestras.
