ARTS BALLET THEATRE OF FLORIDA
THE 2023 - 2024 SEASON
Welcome to the exciting new season of Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida! After our grand 25th anniversary celebration, we are thrilled to present a lineup that is more captivating than ever. Under the direction of awarded Ballet Master and Director, Vladimir Issaev, our company is set to deliver a series of dazzling performances featuring our talented troupe of 20 professional dancers, alongside prestigious guest artists and choreographers.
We kick off the season in October with a mixed bill of neo-classical and classical repertoire. Prepare to be mesmerized by Yanis Pikieris' "Danzon" and Issaev's "Four Seasons." But that's not all! We are proud to present the world premiere of "Inspired by Love," a ballet inspired by the love letters exchanged between Manuela Saenz and the Liberator Simon Bolivar. With the enchanting music of Aldemaro Romero and choreography by Vladimir Issaev, this piece promises to be a moving tribute to their extraordinary love story. In addition, we will feature pieces by Vicente Nebrada in this program, creating a diverse and captivating evening of dance. Join us at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts to witness these extraordinary performances.
Of course, no season is complete without the beloved holiday classic, "The Nutcracker." We are thrilled to bring back this enchanting ballet with ten performances, including a special Sensory Inclusive presentation designed for a unique audience. We will also have pre-show activities and a quiet room to ensure a comfortable experience for all. Two additional performances will be dedicated to the public schools of Miami Dade and Broward Counties, spreading the joy of ballet to young hearts. The rest of the performances will be open to our loyal audiences who eagerly anticipate our charming production, accompanied by the enchanting score of Peter Illich Tchaikovsky.
In March 2024, "Le Papillon" will grace our stage once again. This charming ballet, set to the delightful music of Offenbach, will transport you into a fairy tale world. With captivating sets and costumes, this production balances tragedy and comedy, creating a truly unique experience.
To close the season, we invite you to join us for our traditional Spring Ballet Gala. This extraordinary evening will feature a unique and diverse repertoire, including Issaev/Stravinsky's "Petrouchka," Fokine/Webber's "Le Spectre de la Rose," and other ballets inspired by the legendary Diaghilev.
As we embark on this remarkable season, we are honored to continue the celebration of Vladimir Issaev's extraordinary achievements. The Miami-Dade County Office of the Mayor and Board of County Commissioners has declared June 11, 2023, as Vladimir Issaev Day, recognizing his significant contributions as an artistic director, choreographer, and ballet master. Furthermore, Maestro Vladimir Issaev has been invited to receive the prestigious "Life Achievement Award" at the International Ballet Festival of Miami, a testament to his remarkable impact on the world of dance, both locally and internationally.
