Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, Performing arts center in Omni, Miami, United States

The Adrienne Arsht Center is a major performing arts facility in downtown Miami with multiple theater halls designed for different types of productions. The complex features spaces dedicated to opera, ballet, concerts, and theater, each equipped with professional staging and sound systems for various art forms.

The center opened on October 5, 2006 as the Carnival Center, built partly on the site of a 1929 Art Deco Sears department store whose seven-story entrance tower was preserved and incorporated. It was renamed the Adrienne Arsht Center on January 10, 2008, after Adrienne Arsht donated $30 million. Designed by César Pelli, the $470 million complex was a component of a downtown Miami revitalization effort.

The center's name comes from Adrienne Arsht, who gave $30 million in 2008; before that it was the Carnival Center. Its stages host Florida Grand Opera, Miami City Ballet, the Cleveland Orchestra's winter residency and the New World Symphony. Free programs include Family Fest, Free Gospel Sundays, CommuniTea and Heritage Fest, and since 2020 more than 100 pop-up performances have taken place in hospitals, parks and libraries.

The complex is split in two by Biscayne Boulevard, with the Ziff Ballet Opera House on one side and the Knight Concert Hall on the other, linked by a pedestrian bridge and the open Parker and Vann Thomson Plaza. Enter from the plaza side to cross between halls without recrossing the street.

The Knight Concert Hall's stage extends into the audience, with seating behind it for 200 more spectators or a chorus. Its orchestra level can be converted into a "Grand Ballroom" floor for dining and dancing for up to 850 people, installed over the seats.
