Classical grandeur and contemporary movement share the stage in a season-opening program featuring choreography by Vicente Nebrada, Asaf Messerer, Vladimir Issaev and Lusian Hernandez. Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida performs Sunday, October 4 at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center under the direction of Artistic Director Vladimir Issaev.

The program includes Nebrada’s Pentimento, Messerer’s Spring Waters and the return of Hernandez’s Corpus, a contemporary work first presented during the pandemic. Issaev’s Four Seasons receives its United States premiere, while the company closes the evening with its first presentation of the Raymonda Grand Pas, Marius Petipa’s classical showpiece set to music by Alexander Glazunov.

A complimentary 30-minute pre-show discussion begins at 4:30 p.m. for ticket holders. VIP tickets include seating in the first two rows and one drink voucher. Latecomers will be seated at intermission.
