On behalf of the entire FGO team, we thank you for the positive review and are grateful to have you as a subscriber. We are so glad to hear you enjoyed Madama Butterfly, and we appreciate your optimism for Così. It is already proving to be very exciting - we're modernizing our production and making some artistic decisions to make the plot more relevant!Thank you again, and we look forward to seeing you again!
Thank you so much for the high rating and for the kind words! We are sorry your group of 12 couldn't sit together. You are correct, we do tend to get very busy the week before a show. If you make sure to speak to our box office manager, Gary Herman, a few days before a show, he can work with you to help find the best arrangement possible!
We have been Florida Grand Opera season subscribers for several years and the experience has been a good one all along. The experience started from back when productions were still being done at the Dade County Auditorium before the new opera house was inaugurated in 2006. You'd love Justin Moss's pre-production presentations. He makes everything more exciting with witty and knowledgeable presentations. Everything about the FGO -- the music, composers and performers -- is exciting.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We truly appreciate you attending our performances. We have quite a season ahead (full of even more beautiful music), including Madama Butterfly and The Pearl Fishers. We hope that you are able to join us for another year. All the best to you!
This is a world class opera company. You will enjoy any performance, and all presentations are lavish and over the top as expected with opera.
We attend one or two of the Florida Grand Opera performances every year, driving up from our home near Key West and staying over for the night in Miami. We have seen excellent productions (among others) of Madame Butterfly, Turandot, and most recently a lovely Traviata. The costumes and staging are grand and well done, the singers near the top of international quality. It is not the Met, but the quality compares favorably with, say, the Santa Fe opera, and if the Arsht Center doesn't have the Met's grand chandeliers or Santa Fe's mountain view, it is nonetheless a very lovely opera house with good acoustics. The educational talks offered an hour before curtain time are always interesting. A lovely experience.
Thank you for the kind words, and we are thrilled you had a nice evening! Come back soon!
Hello there! We appreciate your kind words, especially with someone who has been with us for so long! We completely understand your frustration with us not being able to start on time. Unfortunately, South Florida traffic often affects our audience members being able to make it to the theater on time. Because we don't allow late seating until 1st intermission, this often means we have to keep doors open for an additional 5-10 minutes to get a few dozen more patrons seated. We are continuously working to get patrons seated faster, however! We hope you continue to enjoy our productions. All the best to you!
Enjoy the Miami grand ballet season in this magnificent cultural center is one of the must amazing experiences about night life in Miami.
