Firebird Classical & Neoclassical Ballets
Oct 11, 2025
Starting: 7:30 PM
Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida opens its 2025–26 season with an evening of sweeping scores and expressive movement, balancing classical precision with contemporary flair.
On Saturday, October 11, the company takes the stage at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center for Firebird Classical & Neoclassical Ballets, under the direction of Vladimir Issaev. The program begins with Issaev’s Glinka Suite Fantastique, a neoclassical piece for a small ensemble, followed by the elegant Talisman Pas de Deux. Vicente Nebrada’s Double Clef adds a burst of orchestral color, with 13 couples representing the sections of a symphony. The evening culminates in a full staging of Firebird, Stravinsky’s iconic fairytale ballet, reimagined with new sets, costumes and theatrical effects.
A free pre-show discussion will be held inside the theater 30 minutes prior to curtain for all ticket holders.
