Keep yourself busy on a Miami rainy day, while staying dry and experiencing these fun local spots
Miami City Ballet’s Swan Lake
Alexei Ratmansky’s reimaged Swan Lake returns to the Miami City Ballet. Sharing the enchanting and classical ballet story that has drawn audiences for decades, the modern-day fairy tale will sweep you off your feet. Samantha Hope Galler, who plays Odette, shares that the show continues to bring an emotional experience to viewers. “Swan Lake is meaningful in many ways. This iconic work has been performed worldwide and interpreted by many unique and diverse artists. Known as one of the most challenging ballets to tackle, as you journey through the roles of both Odette and Odile, you accomplish not only the technical challenges but also the storytelling component that makes it so special to us as artists and athletes.”
