Music
Options for classical music fanatics range from large concerts by the San Diego Symphony at Copley Symphony Hall to more intimate recitals by the San Diego Chamber Orchestra. The San Diego Opera season runs from January-May and consists of five operas performed at the Civic Theatre.

For those with slightly less rarefied musical tastes, San Diego offers an array of choices in rock, pop, jazz, folk, country, blues, hiphop and alternative music. Serious rockers head to the ultra-sleek Coors Amphitheatre, which seats up to 20,000 and has become a “must-play” venue for top musicians. The 14,000-seat San Diego Sports Arena also hosts big-name concerts. Smaller venues for upbeat tunes include Humphrey’s By The Bay or Juke Joint Cafe.

Theater

San Diego boasts a remarkably healthy theater scene with not one, but two Tony-award-winning theaters. The consistently excellent La Jolla Playhouse often originates innovative and provocative dramas and musicals. Meanwhile, the oldest professional theater in California, Old Globe Theatre, performs classic, Shakespearean and contemporary works on three stages in Balboa Park. In addition, several smaller companies, such as the San Diego Repertory Theatre and the Lamb’s Players Theatre, stage year-round performances of contemporary works.

A number of long running shows, including Forever Plaid and Triple Espresso, attest to San Diegans’ abiding interest in the theater. In fact, Forever Plaid has recently moved to a new location, Backstage at Aubergine, where dinner shows are performed throughout the week.
