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 defined his neoclassical style.

Then, Miami-born, Tony Award-winning choreographer and former MCB Principal Dancer Patricia Delgado returns home with a World Premiere featuring original music by Emily Estefan—a dynamic collaboration between two artists with deep Miami roots.

Ending the evening with a bang, the Company Premiere of Jerome Robbins’ N.Y. Export: Opus Jazz infuses the improvisational spirit and signature swagger of American jazz into classic ballet vocabulary, with brand-new costumes designed by Zac Posen and GapStudio.

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