Miami City Ballet and Brightline Announce Special Ticket Packages for THE NUTCRACKER

Miami City Ballet, one of the country's most acclaimed dance companies, and Brightline, the nation's only provider of modern, eco-friendly intercity passenger rail service in the nation, will bring a little more magic to the season of joy with special packages to see George Balanchine's The Nutcracker.

Journey to a fantastical Land of Sweets when MCB performs The Nutcracker at Miami's Arsht Center December 16 - 24 and at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach December 28 - 30.

Premium round-trip tickets include food, drinks, and special holiday cheer.

In addition, MCB and Brightline will host special Nutcracker events at stations on select dates to be announced soon.

Chantell Ghosh, MCB's chief marketing officer says, "MCB and Brightline are both committed to connecting our visitors and community to amazing experiences, so this was a natural partnership to suggest. Knowing that Brightline's riders can be introduced to world-class ballet and our patrons can access a premium transportation option to attend our performances is a win-win for everyone."

"Brightline is more than a transportation provider, it is focused on connecting travelers to the culture and businesses throughout South Florida," said Johana Rojas, VP of Marketing at Brightline. "The South Florida community has so much to offer, and we want to make exploring these events easy and convenient. Our partnership with Miami City Ballet is an example of that."

A live orchestra, decadent costumes, larger-than-life projections, and over 100 dancers bring the story of brave Marie and her Nutcracker prince to life as they triumph in an epic battle against a Mouse King and travel through a flurry of sparkling snowflakes to a Land of Sweets filled with treats from around the world. MCB's production of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker is a holiday extravaganza for all and the perfect way to celebrate the season.

Brightline is currently the only provider of higher-speed intercity rail in America with stations in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach and stations in Aventura and Boca Raton opening in 2022.
