2009/10 Season Calendar

Sightlines: Prior to or immediately following many Cal Performances events you are invited to explore the fascinating details of history, practice, and biography that shape the extraordinary programs on our stages. Sightlines talks take place on stage in the performance venue and are free to event ticket holders.

Key Notes: Our annual Key Notes series of lecture/receptions takes in a wide range of music written for staged productions. Join us for inspiring commentary, light refreshments, and insightful conversation. While tickets are required for entrance to the associated performances, Key Notes events are free and open to the public.
