Miami Arsht Center for Performing Arts

The Arsht Center is the engine of arts-based economic development and urban renewal in downtown Miami, transforming an underserved area on historic Biscayne Boulevard into a thriving mixed-use arts and entertainment district. One of the largest performing arts complexes in the world, the Arsht Center houses several acclaimed resident companies, including Florida Grand Opera, Miami City Ballet, and the New World Symphony. The Arsht Center’s 2,480-seat Ziff Ballet Opera House and 2,200-seat Knight Concert Hall are connected by Thomson Plaza for the Arts, an outdoor public gathering space. The complex also includes the Carnival Studio Theater, an intimate venue for experimental productions.
