Swan Lake is presented in Merced, CA on Feb 11 at The Merced Theatre as part of Gorskaya-Hartwick’s national touring program — bringing one of the world’s most celebrated ballet productions to audiences across the United States.
At 301 West Main Street in Merced, California, the Merced Theatre opened in 1931, designed by architect Timothy Pflueger in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. After years of closure, it was fully restored and reopened in 2012, preserving its vintage marquee, ornate plasterwork, and decorative interiors. The theater now presents concerts, films, and community programming, offering both nostalgia and modern comfort. Its location in downtown Merced, surrounded by restaurants and shops, ensures it continues to serve as a cultural centerpiece for the community.
