The Face of the Arts in San Antonio
September 14, 2026
The Tobin is home to five resident companies: Ballet San Antonio, Opera San Antonio, The Orchestra San Antonio, Youth Orchestras of San Antonio, and the Children’s Chorus of San Antonio. Alongside them, the Tobin’s theater company, 1 00A Productions, develops and produces new theatrical work. Together they form a complete performing arts ecosystem, one that connects a child’s first rehearsal to the professional spotlight. Here, young musicians learn beside celebrated artists, and audiences experience every art form under one roof.
