Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts

The Arsht Center is a performing arts center located in Miami, Florida. It is one of the largest performing arts centers in the United States. The center was partly built on the site of a former Sears department store; an Art Deco building constructed in 1929, pre-dating the Art Deco hotels on Ocean Drive. It was added to the United States National Register of Historic Places in 1997 as Sears, Roebuck and Company Department Store. And the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts is also one of the most beautiful buildings in Miami.

From the outside, the Arsht Center’s tiered architecture almost looks a bit like a wedding cake. Inside, the theater’s multiple floors jut out overhead to create a striking sense of depth. It’s a jaw-dropping building that makes finding your seats almost as fun as the show itself. The striking postmodern architecture alone makes it worth a visit. But the fact that it’s home to the Florida Grand Opera and the Miami City Ballet, and occasionally hosts the New World Symphony and Cleveland Orchestra, doesn’t hurt either. Touring Broadway shows, musicals, world music and children’s shows also feature.
