Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida’s 24/25 season culminates in a breathtaking Spring Gala, blending the enchanting worlds of ballet and opera. This exquisite program opens with “Harlequinade," a lively one-act ballet originally choreographed by Marius Petipa to the music of Riccardo Drigo, then we present excerpts from Vladimir Issaev’s "La Favorita" from Donizetti’s beloved opera as this ballet seamlessly integrates into the operatic narrative. We will also showcase "Markitanka" (La Vivandière), choreographed by Saint Leon to the delightful music of Cesare Pugni, and the highlight of the evening is the exquisite pas de deux from "La Traviata," set to Giuseppe Verdi’s iconic score.

Join us for an operatic journey through dance, where the worlds of ballet and opera intertwine to create an unforgettable evening. Our Spring Gala promises to captivate and enchant, celebrating the enduring power and beauty of these timeless art forms
