About Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts

The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts is the second-largest performing arts center in the United States, after Lincoln Center in New York City. Located in downtown Miami on Biscayne Bay, this stunning architectural complex features two main performance halls: the Ziff Ballet Opera House (2,400 seats) and the Knight Concert Hall (2,200 seats), along with the intimate Carnival Studio Theater and a waterfront outdoor plaza. The Arsht Center is home to the Florida Grand Opera, Miami City Ballet, and the New World Symphony, and hosts touring Broadway productions, international music acts, comedy shows, and cultural festivals throughout the year. The building's modern design by architect Cesar Pelli is visually striking, especially at night when it lights up along the waterfront. Free tours are available, and the center regularly offers community programming including free outdoor performances in the plaza. The Arsht Center is a cornerstone of Miami's cultural identity and a must-visit for anyone interested in live performance, architecture, or the arts.
