The program includes "Una Danza Para Ti" by Vicente Nebrada, a high-energy and technically demanding piece created for five couples, accompanied by the vibrant music of Venezuelan composers Teresa Carreño, Ramón Delgado Palacios and J. M. Suárez.

The company's male dancers perform "Flight" by Issaev, inspired by the evocative piece "Nocturne" by Anton Arensky. Program 1 includes Alberto Mendez's contemporary ballet "Eros' Game," formerly known as "Suite Generis," with music by Handel and Haydn.

The evening concludes with the world-renowned classical ballet "Paquita," choreographed by Marius Petipá and accompanied by the music of Ludwig Minkus, showcasing the exquisite technique and the work of soloists and corps de ballet of ABT dancers.
