Join Miami City Ballet for the most thrilling event of the season – our annual gala will kick off as the exclusive, first-ever gala event hosted at the famed Faena Forum, set to open during Art Basel 2016!
Affectionately known as the gala with the very best dancers on the dance floor, MCB’s black-tie affair will showcase all 51 marvelous dancers in this exquisite and never-before-seen setting. Taking our inspiration from the much-anticipated world premiere commission of Alexei Ratmansky’s The Fairy’s Kiss, the gala will transform the new Faena Forum space into a frozen fairytale evening with cocktails, dinner, dancing and surprises.
Four hundred notable Miami, Palm Beach and New York philanthropists, together with community leaders and ballet aficionados, will have an unparalleled opportunity to enjoy the architectural wonders of Faena Forum alongside the leading dance artists working in the field today.
Proceeds from the gala will support Miami City Ballet’s work both onstage and in our community, bringing the magic of the live performing arts to people from all walks of life.
Tables are priced from $25,000 to $100,000 with single seats available for $2,500.
All Miami City Ballet dancers will be seated for dinner with table sponsors.
For seating and sponsorship opportunities, please contact Eva Silverstein, Director of Development, at Eva@MiamiCityBallet.org or 305-929-7000, Ext. 1400.
