8 January 25-31, 2024 miaminewtimes.com | browardpalmbeach.com New Times | music | cafe | culture | Night+Day | news | letters | contents | miaminewtimes.com MIAMI NEW TIMES | MUSIC | CAFE | FILM | ART | STAGE | NIGHT+DAY | METRO | RIPTIDE | LETTERS | CONTENTS | ▼ DOWNTOWN NO MORE DRAMA There’s no drama like opera drama, especially in Ruggero Leoncavallo’s I Pagliacci, where Canio’s marital woes take center stage. His desire for freedom clashes with his wife Ned- da’s longing for escape from their nomadic ac- tor life and Tonio’s unwanted advances. Caught in a love affair with Silvio, the tension escalates during the troupe’s performance. Leoncavallo’s gripping score, inspired by a real-life incident witnessed by his father, builds to the poignant tenor aria “Vesti la gi- ubba,” encapsulating the tragedy of a clown’s tears. Florida Grand Opera’s production is presented in Italian and English with pro- jected translations in English and Spanish. 6 p.m. Saturday, 3 p.m. Sunday, and 8 p.m. Tues- day, at Adrienne Arsht Center for the Perform- ing Arts, 1300 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 305-949-6722; arshtcenter.org. Tickets cost $26 to $234. ASHLEY-ANNA ABOREDEN ▼ WYNWOOD MASTER STRUMMER Celebrated blues guitarist Christone “King- fish” Ingram takes the stage at Gramps on Sat- urday ahead of the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise leaving out of Port Everglades on Sunday. His 2021 album, 662, took home the Grammy for “Best Contemporary Blues Album,” while his followup, 2023’s Live In London, is nominated for the same category at this year’s ceremony. See for yourself why Rolling Stone calls Kingfish “one of the most exciting young guitarists in years.” 7 p.m. Sat- urday, at Gramps, 176 NW 24th St., Miami; gramps.com. Sold out. JOSE D. DURAN ▼ SOUTH BEACH BROTHERS IN RHYTHM Italian DJ duo Mathame stops at M2 for a three- hour techno takeover as part of the venue’s Re- sistance Miami series. Made up of brothers Matteo and Amedeo Giovanelli, the pair is known for producing electro and melodic techno tracks. The sibling’s sound is influenced by science fiction, classical movie soundtracks, and anime, apparent in dance-floor-ready tracks like “Hungover” with Camden Cox, “Feel Your Ghost,” “Believe,” and “Skywalk- ing.” 10 p.m. Saturday, at M2, 1235 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; resistancemiami.com. Tick- ets cost $39.95 via dice.fm. SOPHIA MEDINA SUN 1/28 ▼ DOWNTOWN FINISH STRONG Runners looking for panoramic views of the Magic City or a dose of friendly com- petition can gather at the starting line for the Miami Marathon on Sunday morn- ing. The Boston-qualifying race features a 26.2-mile course through some of the city’s most scenic neighborhoods. Regis- tration has long been closed, but you can cheer on the competitors along the route at designated “Cheer Zones.” After the race, a post-race festival celebrates ev- eryone’s accomplishments. 6 a.m. Sun- day, in front of the Kaseya Center, 601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; themiamimara- thon.com.

There were two dates; however, the second night was postponed. So, if you are still holding on to your original ticket or regret not going the first time around, here’s your last chance to check out Scott live and in the flesh. It wasn’t that long ago that Scott was performing at Miami’s smaller venues, like the defunct Grand Cen- tral — now, he’s taking over arenas. See him before the only venue large enough enters the empty vastness of outer space. 8 p.m. Sunday, at Kaseya Center, 601 Biscayne Blvd; 786-777- 1000; kaseyacenter.com. Tickets cost $56.75 to $265 via ticketmaster.com. JOSE D. DURAN MON 1/29 ▼ DOWNTOWN CHUGGING ALONG Now that the Miami Dolphins season ended in another disappointing conclusion, it’s time to focus on basketball. On Monday, the Miami Heat face off against the Phoenix Suns at the Kaseya Center. The team is currently hovering in the top half of the Eastern Conference. With the playoffs still months away, there are still a lot of games on the schedule. Power forward Kevin Love was out with a knee injury last week, but luckily, the team still has a deep bench with Jimmy Bulter, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, and Kyle Lowry all in good shape. 7:30 p.m. Monday, at Kaseya Center, 601 Biscayne Blvd; 786-777- 1000; kaseyacenter.com. Tickets cost $30 to $550 via ticketmaster.com.

The group’s 2019 debut album, Rachmaninoff, earned three Grammy nominations for “Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Perfor- mance,” “Best Engineered Album, Classical,” and “Producer of the Year, Classical.” Last fall, Hermitage followed it up with Spanish Impres- sions, another record that is wowing critics and listeners. On Tuesday, the Friends of Chamber Music Miami brings the trio to South Florida for an intimate performance at the Coral Gables Congregational United Church of Christ. 8 p.m. Tuesday, at the Coral Gables Congregational United Church of Christ, 3010 De Soto Blvd., Coral Gables; miami- chambermusic.org.
