Our season at The Granada opens with a stunning Triple Bill: American Masters. Produced in association with the Santa Barbara Choral Society and orchestra, featuring Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring, Leonard Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms, Morten Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna, and choreography by Willian Soleau, this tour-de-force production showcases arts collaboration at its best. It’s an experience to be cherished.
In December, we’re joined by Opera San Luis Obispo Grand Orchestra, the students of Gustafson Dance, and a local children’s choir for the annual community favorite, The Nutcracker at The Granada. Our spring performance, Sleeping Beauty, is a world premiere and the newest story ballet in our Family Series..
Our 25th Season opens with an elegant gala evening honoring our distinguished patron, Sara Miller McCune. Please join us for this celebrated event, toasting to the past, present, and future of State Street Ballet. Featuring stunning dance vignettes, live auction, and gourmet dinner, all at one of Santa Barbara's most iconic locations!
The grand opening of our 25th Anniversary Season, and a salute to Bernstein, Copland, and more! Performed in collaboration with the Santa Barbara Choral Society and Orchestra.
