SPAC
Saratoga Performing Arts Center
 |
Saratoga belongs to music lovers. The SPAC amphitheatre was
created as a nurturing place for great art. Set in a natural
bowl surrounded by towering pines and sweeping lawns, it was not
so much a site as the setting for a crown jewel. In every
detail, it was conceived for the performances - and performers. |
The National
Museum of Dance is also located on the grounds.
