Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts

5 out of 5 stars

Time Out says

After many delays, a budget overrun and a few name changes, this spectacular $500 million César Pelli creation opened in 2006. The striking postmodern architecture alone makes it worth a visit. But the fact that it’s home to the Florida Grand Opera and the Miami City Ballet, and occasionally hosts the New World Symphony and Cleveland Orchestra, doesn’t hurt either. Touring Broadway shows, musicals, world music and children’s shows also feature.

Expect an hour-long set of fresh material tinged with Brave's usual self-deprecating and relatable brand of humor. Tickets start at $30 with showtimes at 7 and 9:30pm.

Black Santa

Playwright Aaron Mays’ zeitgeist-capturing satire Black Santa is set in an upper-crust day school, where, in the days before holiday break, in the classroom of the school’s only African-American teacher, a third grader named Sharifa declares “Santa Claus is a Black man from Detroit.” The comment sets off a firestorm that spreads to the school’s administration, which pressures the teacher to create an ad campaign that reinforces Kris Kringle’s essential whiteness.

The Great Yes, The Great No

The Adrienne Arsht Center presents the U.S. premiere of The Great Yes, The Great No, a multimedia performance conceived and directed by acclaimed South African artist William Kentridge. Inspired by actual events, The Great Yes, The Great No takes place aboard a ship of refugees and prominent 20th-century figures looking to escape Vichy France during World War II. Through his fictional retelling, Kentridge employs music, dancing, acting, photography and his signature animated drawings to challenge rationalist worldviews with surrealism’s boundless possibilities. 

George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker

Bring on the dancing rats! Everyone’s favorite holiday show is back at the Adrienne Arsht Center this winter with twice-daily shows from December 13 through December 24. Over 100 performers from the Miami City Ballet will bring to life George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker set to Tchaikovsky’s iconic score performed by a live orchestra. Whether you’ve seen it once or a million times over, this fantastical performance is always a treat.
