For its 9th anniversary Gala, the Arsht Center’s Ziff Ballet Opera House will be reimagined into a supper club reminiscent of the days when “The Rat Pack” reigned. The legendary and beloved American singer/songwriter Barry Manilow will treat Arsht gala guests to a special tribute of song as we tip our fedora in honor of “Ol’ Blue Eyes” and his 100th birthday.
