This magnificent venue manages to both humble and enthrall visitors. Today the Arsht is where the biggest cultural acts in Miami come to perform; a show here is a must-see on any Miami trip. There's an Adrienne Arsht Center stop on the Metromover.
This performing-arts center is Miami’s beautiful, beloved baby. Designed by César Pelli (the man who brought you Kuala Lumpur’s Petronas Towers), the center has two main components, connected by a thin pedestrian bridge.
Inside the theaters there’s a sense of ocean and land sculpted by wind; the rounded balconies rise up in spirals that resemble a sliced-open seashell. Hidden behind these impressive structures are highly engineered, state-of-the-art acoustics ensuring that no outside sounds can penetrate, creating the perfect conditions to enjoy one of the 300 performances staged at the center each year.
