UCSB Arts & Lectures presents Ballet Hispánico: Noche de Oro: A Celebration of 50 Years

Friday, April 29th | 8:00p PST | The Granada Theatre

Led by Artistic Director Eduardo Vilaro, Ballet Hispánico celebrates Latinx cultures through innovative performances that elevate diverse artists and ignite cultural pride

This 50th anniversary program from the pioneering, New York-based company features Annabelle Lopez Ochoa's biting, West Side Story-inspired Tiburones. The award-winning Lopez Ochoa, a sought-after choreographer who excels at narrative ballet, has created works for 68 dance companies worldwide. Noche de Oro also includes Gustavo Ramírez Sansano's 18+1 and Vicente Nebrada's Arabesque.

Made possible by the Arnhold A&L Education Initiative, a generous gift of $1.145 million from UC Santa Barbara English Department Alumnus John Arnhold, with his wife Jody, a luminary in dance education, that will be used over three years to support multi-day residencies with renowned artists like Ballet Hispánico, Wynton Marsalis, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and more.

This presentation is part of A&L's 2021-2022 CREATING HOPE programming initiative
