Spring Mix at Arsht Center
This spring, the many sides of dance take center stage raw and wild, soulful and structured in a program packed with company premieres, a Robbins classic, and a burst of Balanchine brilliance.
Jerome Robbins kicks things off with Glass Pieces, a thrilling blend of postmodern movement and classical ballet. Inspired by the nonstop energy of city life, this electrifying work pulses to the hypnotic rhythms of Philip Glass.
The company premiere of José Limón's Chaconne brings a moment of quiet intensity. Originally performed by Limón himself, this stunning solo set to Bach's deeply expressive violin music balances precision with pure emotion.
A returning favorite, Balanchine's Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux is an eight-minute masterclass in ballet bravado short, stunning, and supremely cherished. It's a thrill ride for dancers and audiences alike.
The program closes with a company premiere: Alexei Ratmansky's Pictures at an Exhibition. Ten dancers bring Mussorgsky's legendary score to life against a backdrop of Kandinsky's Color Study: Squares with Concentric Circles. It's a ballet that's as vibrant and unexpected as the art that inspired it.
Spring Mix is a feast for the senses, where every moment is a masterpiece.

Carmen at Arsht Center
Power Redefined. Carmen Reborn.
She's not just playing the game she's running it.
Meet Carmen like you've never seen her before. In Annabelle Lopez Ochoa's daring new vision, she's not just a seductress she's a strategist. Bold. Unstoppable. In control of her own fate.
Inspired by Hollywood blockbuster Molly's Game, this Carmen doesn't wait for fate she deals the cards. Every move is calculated, every glance a challenge. The stakes? Power, passion, survival. And she never bets on anyone but herself.
This World Premiere is a game of desire and deception, where power is won, lost, and taken. But be warned once you enter Carmen's world, there's no turning back.
