The Carnival Studio Theater, located within the Ziff Ballet Opera House’s main building, is the Arsht’s black box venue. The Carnival Studio Theater’s seating and stage can be reconfigured according to specific artistic needs: proscenium, thrust, cabaret, in-the-round and festival seating. In spite of its simple black box design, the space boasts an aircraft cable grid system suspended at approximately 21 feet above the deck, state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems able to accommodate the most sophisticated designs, including a large-cast play, multidisciplinary music-and-dance piece or a solo cabaret entertainer.
