American Rhythms

Miami City Ballet opens its 26/27 Season with a sparkling mixed bill that weaves together classical brilliance, jazzy elegance, and an electrifying world premiere!

The program kicks off with George Balanchine’s Allegro Brillante—a kinetic burst of technical precision and youthful exuberance that showcases his neoclassical style.

Next, the Company Premiere of Jerome Robbins’ N.Y. Export: Opus Jazz brings the spirit and swagger of American jazz to the stage, with new costumes designed by Zac Posen for GapStudio.

The evening culminates in a World Premiere by Tony Award-winning Buena Vista Social Club choreographer and former MCB Principal Dancer Patricia Delgado, featuring original music performed live by Grammy-nominated artist Emily Estefan. Both Miami natives, the two artists come together for a one-of-a-kind hometown collaboration.

Join us for a curated evening that honors ballet’s lineage while embracing the thrill of new artistic synergy.
