Performing Arts

Miami is home to a variety of venues for the performing arts. In fact, whether your passion is the theater or ballet there are world-class artists for you to enjoy.
Theaters
Miami is synonomous with theater, and has been since it was founded. As South Beach and Coconut Grove have established a reputation across the country as a haven for artistic expression, many artists have flocked here for the inspiration and vibes of our Miami atmosphere. Among the performing arts world, several Miami venues are said to be best of the best. Here are some of my favorites.
Concert Association of Florida
The Concert Association of Florida (CAF)is a not-for-profit organization advancing the arts and presenting virtually all of the world's greatest orchestras, major classical stars and dance companies to the South Florida community.
Cultural Connection
This joint venture of WLRN public broadcasting and the Theatre League of South Florida offers same-day discount theatre tickets to a variety of cultural events in South Florida.
Gusman Center for the Performing Arts
This historic theater in downtown Miami hosts a number of cultural events each month, ranging from symphonic performances to comedy troupes. The Gusman Center is the Miami venue for the Florida Philharmonic Orchestra and boasts an extraordinary 1920s decor.
Miami City Ballet
One of the largest ballet companies in the U.S., Miami City Ballet boasts world-renowned dancers and facilities. Its home at the Ophelia and Juan Js. Rojas Center in South Beach is one of the few in the country built specifically for ballet.
The Miami Bach Society
The Miami Bach Society performs music of the greatest Baroque masters as well as works of other 17th and 18th century composers.
