Miami City Ballet 2022-2023 Season

Miami City Ballet 2022-2023 Season

The Miami City Ballet 2022-2023 season features two full-length ballets – Romeo and Juliet and The Nutcracker – along with three mixed repertory programs, all performed to live orchestra.

Several George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins works are complemented by iconic pieces by modern choreographers Martha Graham and José Limón, as well as world premieres by Amy Hall Garner, Pontus Lidberg, and Durante Verzola.

“Ballet has this wonderful ability to transport us to faraway places and cultures, to unleash the imagination, and to entertain us. This past season has been nothing short of extraordinary, having presented an uplifting season filled with programs that touched upon themes of love, betrayal, and the ultimate power of forgiveness. We again share stories that traverse time and emotion this season, reminding us that we are all connected. Beginning with one of the greatest love stories of all time, Romeo and Juliet.”
Lourdes Lopez

Along with their annual performances at Arsht Center in Miami, Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale, and Kravis Center in West Palm Beach, Miami City Ballet can also be seen touring in Becket, Massachusetts as part of Jacob’s Pillow from August 24-28; at Cal Performances in Berkeley, California September 22-25; and at Artis-Naples in Naples, Florida February 27-28 and April 25-26.

Arsht Center: October 21-23
Broward Center: November 5-6
Kravis Center: November 11-13

  • Romeo and Juliet by John Cranko

The world’s most recognized love story. Shakespeare’s cautionary tale of star-crossed lovers is beautifully brought to life in this sweeping ballet that features opulent sets, costumes, breathtaking choreography, and Prokofiev’s divine score as the Capulets and the Montagues battle in this heart-wrenching story centered around two young lovers.

The Nutcracker | December 16-30, 2022

Arsht Center: December 16-24

The sweetest of all holiday traditions is back. Little Marie’s dream comes alive in George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker®, and you are invited on her enchanted journey!

She bravely fights off an army of mice and their ferocious King. With her gallant Nutcracker Prince, she travels through a wintry wonderland of darting, swirling snowflakes to the Land of Sweets where waltzing flowers and curious confections from around the world dance for her.

Marvel at MCB’s spectacular production with magic at every turn, a cast of over 100 dancers and children in lavish costumes, and Tchaikovsky’s beloved, instantly recognizable music played by a brilliant live orchestra.

  • World Premiere by Amy Hall Garner

A thrilling mixed repertory bill of modern dance masters includes Martha Graham’s joyous Diversion of Angels and José Limón’s pivotal The Moor’s Pavane, based on the Shakespeare tragedy, Othello. Plus, two of today’s most inventive choreographers, Pontus Lidberg and Amy Hall Garner will stage innovative new works.

Miami City Ballet West Side Story Suite

West Side Story Suite | April 14-30 2023

Arsht Center: April 14-16
Kravis Center: April 21-23
Broward Center: April 29-30

  • West Side Story Suite by Jerome Robbins
  • Symphony in C by George Balanchine
  • World Premiere by Durante Verzola

This action-packed program will abuzz fashion lovers, fans of musicals, and dance aficionados alike. MCB’s “fresh and fierce” production of Jerome Robbins’s West Side Story Suite is the ever-popular retelling of Romeo and Juliet. Set in 1950s New York City and performed to Bernstein’s famed music, MCB dancers become a triple threat as Tony and Marie fall hopelessly in love while caught in the crosshairs of a bitter rivalry between street gangs, the Sharks and the Jets. (The Miami Herald)

George Balanchine’s exhilarating Symphony in C set to Bizet’s enchanting score features more than 50 dancers.

And a new commission by Durante Verzola features the music of famed composer and pianist Ernesto Lecuona with costumes designed by Miami-based Colombian/American fashion icon Esteban Cortázar.

Miami City Ballet Afternoon of a Faun

Afternoon of a Faun | May 12-21, 2023

Kravis Center: May 12-14
Arsht Center: May 19-21

  • Afternoon of a Faun by Jerome Robbins
  • Square Dance by George Balanchine
  • Antique Epigraphs by Jerome Robbins
  • Symphony in Three Movements by George Balanchine

Two titans of choreography highlight this program featuring beloved works by George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins. The famed Robbins ballet Afternoon of a Faun, an intimate, voyeuristic take on two dancers who encounter each other in a sun-drenched ballet studio is paired with the company premiere of Antique Epigraphs, also set to the music of Debussy and performed by eight women in earthy, light tunics in a work inspired by Greek mythology and poetry.

Described as “superb” by The New York Times, MCB’s interpretation of Symphony in Three Movements set to Stravinsky’s driving score is the perfect vehicle to demonstrate the dancers’ artistic depth, technical attack, and fiery spirit. And in an unexpected twist, the long-forgotten role of The Caller from Square Dance will be included in the company’s performance for the first time.
