Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County

1300 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33132, USA

Performing arts complex with an opera house stage rivaled only by New York's Met.

This guide to the Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami opens on a naming-rights puzzle: a cruise line paid to put its name on the city's new performing arts complex when it opened in 2006, only for that name to vanish within two years. It traces how businesswoman Adrienne Arsht stepped in during 2008 with a headline gift, the rippling fountain by artist Anna Valentina Murch she had quietly funded before that, and her own explanation for why she did it. Look for that fountain just outside the doors before you step inside.
