🎪✨ Celebrating 100 years of the Sarasota Opera House! ✨🎶
This weekend marks a historic milestone as the Sarasota Opera House honors a century of artistry, culture, and community in one of Sarasota’s most iconic venues.
The Circus Arts Conservatory is proud to join an extraordinary lineup of local arts organizations, including @sarasotaopera, @westcoastblacktheatretroupe, and @sarasotaballet, for this vibrant celebration of the performing arts.
