Legendary choreographer Twyla Tharp brings to Miami Florida her latest creation, Nightspot, with the collaboration of Miami City Ballet. Nightspot made its debut on March 28th, at the Carnival Center of the Performing Arts in Downtown Miami. The musical has a new set of song by brilliant musician Elvis Costello and the costumes were made by famous fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi. Mizhari could not resist to the idea of working with Tharp after viewing a taped rehearsal.
Nightspot brings together for the first time two great talents and pioneers: Tharp, 66, who has been really successful in the modern dance field
and has conquer Hollywood and Broadway; and Elvis Costello, 53, who is a pretty well-known songwriter icon, ranging into rock, blues, jazz, classical, and more. Both Tharp and Costello will surely be a potent partnership, and they have come together just in South Florida. The fact that this partnership was made in Miami, not only shows Miami City Ballet’s growth, but it also reflects Miami’s growth into a place with talent, facilities and means to feature great cultural and artistic events. Â
