About: Miami City Ballet returns to Lincoln Road, the company’s original home, with Ballet on the Beach, two special performances on Miami Beach in the intimate setting of Colony Theatre on Lincoln Road on Saturday, November 23 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, November 24 at 2 p.m. Ballet on the Beach consists of shorter performances in a more casual setting and features highlights from the highly anticipated 2019-20 season. All tickets are $35 and include the performance, a pre-show glass of prosecco, and a post-performance chat with Artistic Director Lourdes Lopez and MCB dancers.

Packed with popular hits and moving soundtracks, Ballet on the Beach features a sneak peek from the upcoming MCB premiere of Rodeo: Four Dance Episodes choreographed by Tony Award-winner Justin Peck. Two dancers will perform Peck’s inventive pas de deux to the legendary score by Aaron Copland, an irresistibly affecting duet punctuated with exquisite moments of playful athleticism and a delightful sense of wonder.

Christopher Wheeldon’s This Bitter Earth, features breathtaking, expressive dance for two, set to the hauntingly gorgeous 1960 soul hit This Bitter Earth by Dinah Washington remixed with Max Richter’s cinematic soundtrack, On the Nature of Daylight. The volume continues to turn up with a smashing finale: clad in fabulously glamorous costumes designed by Oscar de la Renta, the Miami City Ballet dancers spring into step to Frank Sinatra in Twyla Tharp’s Nine Sinatra Songs.
