San Diego Ballet presents

Carnival of the Animals and Tangata

World Premiere Music and Dance


The evocative, mysterious Tangata combines tango and ballet to create a world of dangerous beauty within the sensual music of Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla.


The beloved Carnival of the Animals gets a new life, set to a world premiere Latin jazz score by San Diego’s own trumpeter and composer Gilbert Castellanos with the Gilbert Castellanos Quartet. Join us on this dazzling look at the animal kingdom through the lens of Latin rhythms.
