The World, residenSea

A new era dawns for performing arts in Santa Barbara.
On this evening Art and History converge as The Granada emerges triumphant. The arena for world-class entertainment is ready for her debut.

Celebrate The Renaissance!
In one magical evening, the Santa Barbara Symphony, State Street Ballet, Opera Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Choral Society and Flamenco Ballet Pablo Pizano shared the stage for an unprecedented Gala program. Hosted by world-renowned opera star Denyce Graves, this incredible production was complemented by spectacular State Street fanfare and “supper-club” dining and dancing harkening back to The Granada’s first days.
