Great seats. We sat in the founders circle, 1st balcony. View was excellent. The program included three performances. the first liturgy was excellent, beautiful dance. "Tarantella" equally good; but "symphony" was breathtaking. the orchestra and the dancing together we captivating. "nightspot" was very dissapointing. beautifull visuals, vivid colors, but not as captivating as the rest. a bit unusual, story was hard to follow, and kind of bland when compared to the other three excellent perfomances.Written on Oct 27 2008

The Miami Ballet company was superb; the Balanchine numbers were exquisite, as was the music. Liturgy was the most incredible performance; two dancers emerge slowly from darkness into half light; they evoke a sense of life and death blending into one another. But Nightspot, which should have been the evening's highlight was a disappointment; although the dancing was again superb and the staging dramatic, the piece seemed random and lacking in a dramatic arc. And it was so long! Dance should leave you wanting more, not less.Written on Oct 27 2008
