Santa Monica’s The Broad Stage and the glamorous beach-handy hotel Le Méridien Delfina will once again partner for the 2014-15 performing arts season to offer the aesthetically vibrant Discovering the Arts hotel package. This exciting package enables guests to discover global music, international theater, and contemporary dance at the edge of their seat, taking the culture seeker around the world in Santa Monica with an innovative hotel and theater experience.
Discovering the Arts is perfect for visiting out-of-towners or locals seeking a glamorous ‘stay-cation,’ and the fun-filled opportunity to live life as a tourist right here in Los Angeles, if only for a weekend — minus the traffic!
The package ensures the opportunity to explore the quintessence of Santa Monica with Le Méridien Delfina, including accommodations in a luxurious guest room with sophisticated ambiance inspired by the blue and green color palette of the Pacific. The artistic journey then continues to The Broad Stage to experience a world-class performance of your choosing (see Calendar of Events). This art-inspired package unearths the rich cultural diversity and imaginative essence of Santa Monica.
Rates for the Discovering the Arts package start at $299, and include a deluxe city view room and two tickets to a performance at The Broad Stage. There is also the Discovering the Arts In Style luxury hotel package (package is $599), which includes a deluxe ocean view room, luxury amenities, dinner for two at Longitude Bar + Restaurant, transportation to and from The Broad Stage as well as two tickets to a Broad Stage performance.

An evening of Irish melodies with A Celtic Holiday with Lúnasa and Karan Casey (December 20, 2014);

About The Broad Stage:
The Eli and Edythe Broad Stage at the Santa Monica College Performing Arts Center opened its doors in October 2008. Inspired by Italian “horseshoe” theaters, yet conceived in an absolutely contemporary vernacular, The Broad Stage is an artist’s dream and an audience’s delight. Unlike any performance space in the country, it is sublimely intimate with 499-seats and strikingly grand at the same time.Theater shows, dance, film, operas, musicals, symphony and chamber orchestras are presented on one of the city’s largest proscenium stages. In addition to The Broad Stage, The Edye, a smaller black box theater, presents new, developing and innovative work as part of the Under the Radar Series. Featuring young, innovative artists, programming at The Edye is intentionally spontaneous, reflecting the dynamic nature of the space and allowing the latest, most exciting artists to be booked on short notice. The Broad Stage’s education and outreach program offers opportunities for cultural exposure through various student events, currently reaching 1,000 students and community members annually through over 30 free and low-cost events.
The Broad Stage is located at 1310 11th Street, Santa Monica CA 90401. Parking is FREE.
