Peter and the Wolf – ABA presents the ballet premiere of the exciting story of the hungry wolf, the ill-fated duck, the fortunate cat, the fearless little bird, and brave Peter, who helps save his friends from the wolf’s jaws – and saves the wolf from the hunters’ guns. Each character in the story is represented by a melody played by a different instrument. Written in 1936, Sergei Prokofiev’s symphonic folk tale has enchanted generations of children and adults. Choreographed by Jessica Novakovich.

The story of Peter and the Wolf teaches an important lesson – to have courage while facing a challenge.

Magical Garden – An enchanting original short ballet choreographed by Jacqueline Akhmedova after Mikhail Fokine. Music composed by Mikhail Glinka from the Opera Ruslan and Ludmilla, this classical rare treasure is a delight for all ages.

It is followed by the Radetzky March and a Polka from the ballet Fairy Doll.

Avant – Garde – Contemporary and Character masterpieces, choreographed by our own teachers, premiered and presented by ABA’s Professional Training Program students. Many of these creations have won awards nationally and internationally at ballet competitions and were applauded by many audiences.

Adult $30
