It’s time to get cultured! The Balboa Theater is offering some new programming this summer with the help of Emerging Pictures.

Beginning this weekend, and during weekends (and some weeknights) in June and July, they’ll be presenting several different performance programs in HD, Dolby 5.1 surround sound featuring classic ballets, operas and Shakespeare plays that were performed and filmed live in Europe.

Below is the list of screenings – visit the Balboa Theater website for more detailed information and descriptions. Tickets for each screening are $20.00, $17.50 for seniors, students (with I.D.) and children.
