Arts & Culture
Orlando's arts community can best be described as
"small, strong and growing." Metro Orlando is the only region in
the State of Florida that is home to all three desciplines:
symphony, opera and ballet. The aggregate budget of all arts
organizations is $25 million annually. The quality of what our
community receives for this investment is extraordinarily high.
Some local highlights include the following:
- The artistic director of the Orlando Ballet,
Robert Hill, is internationally renowned in ballet circles.
