Sarasota
Sarasota and the nearby
Gulf Coast area has been called the "Cultural Capital of Florida," and
for good reason.
The fine arts flourish
here. One minute, you are relaxing in the ultimate escape, far from the
maddening crowds, listening to terns and gently splashing waves.
The next, the curtain
is going up to a resounding applause as you take in a night at the opera,
the ballet, or a performance at the Van
Wezel by one of your favorite international stars.
Enjoy one of the
many fine presentations at the Asolo
Opera. Become mezmerized as the lyrical dancers of the Sarasota
Ballet twirl about the stage.
For a quiet afternoon
of perfect cultural appreciation, visit the historic Ringling
Museum, and view the building, art and heritage that created the
cultural foundation of our area. The Ringlings brought much more than
the circus to Sarasota -- they brought a sense of appreciation for the
arts, and the philosophy of preservation for paintings, sculpture, architecture,
performance and much more.
There is so much more!
The
Sarasota Film Society brings many brilliant movies to local audiences.
The Players of Sarasota present fine plays year after year. The
Florida West Coast Symphony offers amazing musical performances. This
is truly a paradise in many ways, and our cultural heritage and present
day offerings is first rate.
The
Sarasota County Arts Council works hard to promote the arts in our
area, and their web site is also worth a visit.
