Overview

Catch the ultimate Miami vibe in this exhilarating season finale, brimming with sun, sand, and undeniable style.

George Balanchine’s Apollo, set to Stravinsky’s score, reimagines the myth of Apollo with a unique twist, showcasing the genius of two artistic legends. Lauren Lovette’s World Premiere brings a contemporary edge, taking the stage with fearless choreography that’s as unique and free-spirited as Miami itself. Twyla Tharp’s iconic Deuce Coupe closes the program with an explosion of The Beach Boys tunes, blending ballet with laid-back West Coast vibes that’ll make you feel like you’re riding the waves. Fun, fresh, and totally unforgettable—this program is the ultimate beach day, bottled up and brought to life.

Apollo marked a turning point for George Balanchine, a moment he described as his artistic coming of age. In creating this ballet, he discovered the power of restraint—learning to refine, simplify, and strip a work down to its essential elements. Set to Igor Stravinsky’s luminous score, Apollo follows the young god of music as he is guided by three Muses—Calliope (poetry), Polyhymnia (mime), and Terpsichore (dance and song). Their interactions shape his artistic journey, blending elegance with a striking sense of modernity.

Originally choreographed in 1928, Apollo was Balanchine’s second ballet set to Stravinsky’s music and the start of a lifelong creative partnership. More than 50 years later, in 1979, he reworked the ballet for Mikhail Baryshnikov, removing the opening birth scene and altering the ending—changes that sparked discussion but underscored Balanchine’s belief that less is often more.

Lauren Lovette’s World Premiere brings a contemporary edge, taking the stage with fearless choreography that’s as unique and free-spirited as Miami itself.

Twyla Tharp’s Deuce Coupe is considered the first crossover ballet, blending classical ballet with contemporary social dance. Commissioned by Robert Joffrey for The Joffrey Ballet, the piece premiered in 1973, set to 14 songs by The Beach Boys. The work merges everyday gestures with ballet vocabulary, creating a unique and energetic theatrical experience. A solo dancer performs a alphabetic (but not-so-straightforward) sequence of classical ballet steps, beginning with Ailes de pigeon and progressing to Voyagé in an unexpected, free-spirited way.

Deuce Coupe is a "vividly American dance" (New York Times) that celebrates dynamic spontaneity, marking a revolutionary moment in the evolution of ballet.

Scenery and costumes for Balanchine's production were by French artist André Bauchant. Coco Chanel provided new costumes in 1929. Apollo wore a reworked toga with a diagonal cut, a belt, and laced up. The Muses wore a traditional tutus. The decoration was baroque: two large sets, with some rocks and Apollo's chariot. In the dance a certain academicism resurfaced in the stretching out and upward leaping of the body, but the Balanchine bent the angles of the arms and hands to define instead the genre of neoclassical ballet.

History
Premiere of this production: 27 April 1928, Washington festival

Apollo (originally Apollon musagète and variously known as Apollo musagetes, Apolo Musageta, and Apollo, Leader of the Muses) is a neoclassical ballet in two tableaux composed between 1927 and 1928 by Igor Stravinsky.

Venue Info

Adrienne Arsht Center - Miami
Location   1300 Biscayne Blvd

The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts is a performing arts center located in Miami, Florida. It is one of the largest performing arts centers in the United States.

The Center opened as the Carnival Center on October 5, 2006, with performers, politicians and, movie stars attending, including Gloria Estefan, Jeb Bush, Andy García, and Bernadette Peters.

On January 10, 2008, it was announced that philanthropist and business leader Adrienne Arsht donated $30 million to the facility that would make it financially stable. In recognition for the gift, the former Carnival Center for the Performing Arts was renamed "The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County," or the Arsht Center for short.

In December 2008, M. John Richard joined the center as president and CEO after more than 20 years at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC).

Founded in 2011, the Town Square Neighborhood Development Corporation (“TSNDC”) was planned to oversee the development of the Arsht Center district. TSNDC's volunteer board: Armando Codina, chairman of Codina Partners, as chair; Manny Diaz, former City of Miami mayor, as vice chair; Michael Eidson, chairman of the Performing Arts Center Trust Board of Directors and partner of the South Florida law firm Colson Hicks Eidson, as treasurer; and Parker Thomson, founding chair of the Performing Arts Center Trust Board of Directors, as secretary. In 2019, Johann Zietsman succeeded John Richard as president and CEO after ten years in the same role at Arts Commons in Calgary.

Interior of the concert hall
The center was designed by César Pelli and occupies two 570,000 square feet (53,000 m2) sites straddling Biscayne Boulevard connected by a pedestrian bridge. Acoustics were designed by Russell Johnson of Artec Consultants company. He also worked on the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas.

There are three main venues all of which can be rented for event space by the public:

  • The Sanford and Dolores Ziff Ballet Opera House seats 2,400.
  • The John S. and James L. Knight Concert Hall seats 2,200. Its stage extends into the audience and there is seating behind the stage for 200 additional spectators or a chorus. The orchestra level can be transformed into a "Grand Ballroom" with a festival floor configuration for dining and dancing for up to 850 people. The floor is installed over the seats.
  • Carnival Studio Theater is a flexible black-box space designed for up to 250 seats.

In addition, there are two smaller multi-purpose venues:

  • The Peacock Rehearsal Studio holds 270 people.
  • Parker and Vann Thomson Plaza for the Arts is an outdoor social and performance space linking the two main houses across Biscayne Blvd.
