Miami City Ballet Opens With Fast, Furious Toe-Breaker: Ballo Della Regina

Miami City Ballet’s season opens the evening of Oct. 18 at the Adrienne Arsht Center with Ballo della Regina, a technical feat of precision and speed, with lots of fast turns, hops on point and at times a combination of the two. The ballet, set to music from Verdi’s Don Carlo, is so difficult that it’s not widely performed because many companies don’t have the dancers to pull it off.
