City Ballet of San Diego

"Fantastic dancing and choreography. Love the City Ballet Orchestra and John Nettles."

"Saw "The Nutcracker Ballet"; it was amazing. Loved the live orchestra accompaniment, it elevates the performance experience. They also have a great special effects curtain that gives the viewers a sneak peek at what is happening inside Clara's home as the visitors are en route to the party. It's a small venue with an excellent seating set-up. I had orchestra seats but from what I could see every seat looks great. It was money well spent and I am excited to see future productions from this company."

"Even though there were some technical and artistic layers between performers, overall I cannot resist to give my all thumbs. Especially, pad de deux in Act2 was keeping me ‘wow’ till the end of the show (nutcracker). Maybe My wife and I will be a regular audience."

"City is our favorite ballet company, and the recent Carmina Burana production was one of the finest projects this world class company has undertaken. The choreography was fresh, yet traditional, the story line was creative, the dancing was -- as always -- top notch, and the sound, with the large choir spread across the box seats at the front of the theater, was astounding. The City Ballet orchestra gets better every year."

"What a fantastic company! I lived in NYC for years and attended NYCity ballet performances often. The City Ballet of SD is as good or better in their stagings of Balanchine's ballets. In addition, they have two wonderful choreographers, Elizabeth Wistrich and Geoff Gonzales, also a wonderful dancer. Ariana Gonzales continues to dazzle as prima ballerina. Thank you City Ballet!"
