Orlando Ballet is proud to announce a new partnership with FABCO, the French American Business Council of Orlando, to launch a season-long series of refined cultural events uniting the arts, business, and community. Starting with Giselle—the closing production of Orlando Ballet’s 2024-2025 season—FABCO members will enjoy exclusive receptions throughout the season.
This collaboration blends the timeless elegance of ballet with the refined professional network cultivated by FABCO. These curated pre-show events will be open to all FABCO members, offering a unique experience where art meets high connection.
“FABCO has always stood for more than networking—it’s a gateway to a world where business rhymes with network access, and where occasion rhymes with sophistication,” said a FABCO spokesperson. “For over 30 years, our success has come from carefully chosen venues, quality partnerships, and themes that celebrate culture, cuisine, and elegance. Partnering with Orlando Ballet perfectly reflects that vision.”
FABCO connects individuals and businesses through high-end events that focus on art, fashion, food, fine wine, and cultural exchange—creating opportunities to grow in a sophisticated atmosphere with like-minded peers.
Orlando Ballet, Central Florida’s only professional ballet company, has long been a leader in the arts and a committed community partner. Through performances, education, and outreach, the company continues to inspire and engage audiences across the region.
With ballet’s historical roots in the French royal courts, this partnership is a natural fit. It celebrates a shared cultural legacy while building bridges between the business and artistic communities in Orlando.
“Ballet originated in France, and this partnership reflects both the tradition and innovation of the art form,” said Jorden Morris, Artistic Director of Orlando Ballet. “Through FABCO, we’re excited to welcome new audiences into the beauty and history of ballet in a fresh and meaningful way.”
The partnership will launch with Giselle, a romantic and haunting classic, marking a perfect start to this new chapter. Guests can expect elegant pre-show receptions, premium seating, and unforgettable cultural experiences.
