California Ballet presents high quality professional ballet and dance performances through support of a resident company of professional dancers. CBC is San Diego's premier professional ballet company presenting classic and innovative dance productions in the renown San Diego Civic Theater. Led by Maxine Mahon who founded the company and Artistic Director Jared Nelson who has brought the company to new artistic heights, CBC is entering it's 50th Anniversary season. Our amazing dancers will bring Billy Elliott (September 2017), Swan Lake (October 2017), The Great Gatsby (March 2018) and a San Diego holiday tradition, the Nutcracker (December 2017) to life this season. Our partnership with the San Diego Symphony completes our performances with beautiful accompaniment of live musicians. From its inception in 1968, California Ballet Company has been a fertile ground for the re-staging of the demanding classics and for the creation of its own trail-blazing works. Over the years, the CBC bestowed on emerging young choreographers, many from San Diego, an opportunity to create and to develop through the company their own personal dance statements. In addition, the CBC has influenced, nurtured and enriched the lives of generations of committed dancers, many of whom are now performing across four continents.
