The Lobero Theatre is a California treasure — it opened in 1873 as an opera house, making it the oldest continuously operating theater in the state. Today, this cultural gem welcomes local and nationally-known events from State Street Ballet to the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, as well as notable artists like Pat Metheny, Jeff Bridges, Bill Frisell, and Charles Lloyd, who credit the Lobero among their favorite venues.
The Lobero is well-known for high quality programs presented in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
