Behind the Scenes at the Adrienne Arsht Center

From the International Competition to Opening Night, Roberto spent 12 continuous years of his career working on this one single project, which included six years on the construction coordinating 72 subcontractors, 5,000 construction workers and collaborating with over 40 user groups, prestigious stakeholders, and significant donors to assure the level of quality expected for the world-class performing arts center.

Having been involved in every design decision and detail of Miami's most important community asset, Roberto will take you on a journey from the majestic public lobbies, into the performance spaces, backstage, and front and center on two of the world's most important stages. The Ziff Ballet Opera House, the Knight Concert Hall, the Carnival Studio Theater, and the Parker and Vann Thomson Plaza for the Arts make up what is considered one of the most important performing arts centers in the world in acoustics excellence, precise theater planning, and expressive and urban architecture.
