Miami City Ballet’s action-packed April triple bill, Fresh & Fierce, is for the fashion lovers, musical theatre fans, and dance aficionados alike. Jerome Robbins’ West Side Story Suite brings the magic of the classic musical to the concert dance stage, while George Balanchine’s Divertimento No 15, set to Mozart’s eponymous music, will dazzle audiences while paying homage to the legendary choreographer on the 40th anniversary of his passing. The stunning program is rounded out by Sentimento, a new commission by Miami City Ballet School alum Durante Verzola, set to music by Ernesto Lecuona with costumes designed by Miami’s own internationally celebrated fashion icon Esteban Cortázar. This love letter to Miami Beach brings 16 dancers together with a heavy dose of nostalgia for a piece uniquely and truly South Florida.
