Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre will reopen to the public in October with a full lineup of shows, many of which were rescheduled from 2020. Leading the way is comedian Bert Kreischer, who brings his Berty Boy Relapse Tour to the Centre on Oct. 10. Bill Burr keeps the comedy train going with two shows on Oct. 14, plus MasterChef Live (Oct. 19), Justin Moore & Tracy Lawrence (Oct. 21), Rickey Smiley’s Comedy Explosion (Oct. 23) and Gilberto Santa Rosa (Oct. 24).
After a year of innovative, imaginative, and acclaimed performances under the Big Tent, The Atlanta Opera celebrates its triumphant return to the Cobb Energy Centre with a season of escapist mainstage productions. The season kicks off in November with Handel’s Julius Caesar, never before staged by The Atlanta Opera, plus Rossini’s beloved The Barber of Seville, the rollicking return of The Pirates of Penzance, and the Southeastern premiere of Grammy award-winning The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs.
One year past its intended Cobb Energy Centre debut, Atlanta Ballet will make its long-anticipated return to the theatre stage to present Yuri Possokhov’s The Nutcracker, Dec. 4-29. This innovative production features larger-than-life sets and bold costumes enhanced by striking video projections, created by a world-class creative team. The rest of the performance season features a mix of classics, contemporary works and world premieres. In addition to all-time favorites like Firebird and Giselle, the season will highlight the creative talent and visionary excellence of the company’s very own.
