5.4) What kind of cultural activities are there in Sacramento?

Notwithstanding the outstanding museums and art collections in
Sacramento and cultural activities such as the Second Saturday ArtWalk
(<http://www.quiknet.com/~mcox/2ndsat.html>), the performing arts in
Sacramento are somewhat provincial in comparison to those that can be
found in the nearby San Francisco Bay Area. San Francisco's
population simply makes a greater commitment to supporting the arts
than do the residents of Sacramento. Even so, Sacramento does have a
symphony orchestra (entering its 83rd season) as well as ballet,
opera, and live theatre companies for local afficionados; Broadway
shows eventually make their way to Sacramento for the local
dilettantes.
