Each year the Flagler Museum's Whitehall Society hosts an Easter Egg Hunt and Egg Roll on the South Lawn of Whitehall the Saturday morning before Easter.

The Gilded Age tradition of egg rolling began on the South Lawn of the White House when President Hayes welcomed children to the first White House Easter Egg Roll in 1878.

Children are encouraged to bring their own Easter Egg Basket for the Easter Egg Hunt on the Museum's South Lawn.

General admission for the Easter Egg Hunt and Easter Egg Roll is $5 for children and $15 for adults.

Proceeds of the event will help to underwrite the Museum's Newspapers in Education program. Published in conjunction with the Palm Beach Post, the Newspapers in Education tabloid will be geared toward 4th and 5th grade students and will be made available statewide. It will help students understand the development of Florida and Henry Flagler's essential role in that process.

The Whitehall Society is a steering committee whose purpose is to cultivate the support and patronage of part-time and full-time residents of the Palm Beach area who have an interest in arts and culture, history, architecture, and the preservation of Whitehall.

:: Third International Young Dancers Festival- Sat & Sun

Where: Miami & Ft. Lauderdale- see details below

Import this event into your calendar

Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida presents
Third International Young Dancers Festival April 7, 8 2007

Vladimir Issaev is closing the Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida season of performances presenting a very different program that is substituting the usual Spring Ballet Gala.

This International Festival is an annual performance by four international ballet companies, structured so that each country hosts the event on a rotating basis. In 2004 and 2005 Denmark was the hosting country, following Poland in 2006. In 2007 it is Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida's turn to bring this festival to South Florida .

The participating companies are: The Wienna Konservatorium Opera House Dance Company ( Austria ), The Fouette Tanz Ensemble ( Poland ), the Odense City Ballet ( Denmark ) and Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida ( USA ) with special guests, the Ballettschule Pirouette ( Germany ).

The idea for these annual, rotating performances came to life after several meetings between four artistic directors with a long history of international dance experience. These professionals, Vladimir Issaev (Florida - USA), Maxim Abzalov (Austria), Beata Ksiazkiewicz (Poland), Bogumila Gauden (Denmark), have worked together in the past as dancers, and maintain an artistic relationship. This has produced a magnificent opportunity for these international ballet masters to showcase the talents of their companies on a world stage.

The program for the performances is very diverse, while Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida will be offering a classical and neo classical ballet repertoire, Poland is bringing a ballet mixed with character dance with music of Chopin and a couple of modern pieces.

One of the highlights of the evening will be the performance of Arts Ballet Theatre's dancers Yoshie Oshima and Andrey Konkin dancing "Spring Waters" and a new Pas de deux from Issaev's choreographic work "The Season" which was premiered last summer at the Mariinsky Theater in Russia .

A major honor for the companies and the event will be at 6:30 PM on April 7, when Miami-Dade County Commissioner Sally Heyman will present all of the visiting companies with Keys to the County of Miami-Dade.

Saturday, April 7 at 7 pm at the Julius Littman North Miami Beach Theater
17011 NE 19th Avenue , North Miami Beach , FL 33162

Sunday , April 8 at 3:00 pm the Broward Center for the Performing Arts

:: Samson et Delila- Florida Grand Opera

Where: Broward Center for the Performing Arts(Aurene Theater)

Time: 8:00 PM

Import this event into your calendar

Saint-Saens' operatic masterpiece of the Old Testament story provides a sweeping, atmospheric musical tableaux of the ancient middle east, and contains some of opera's most famous music, including Dalila's great seduction scene. Samson succumbs and gives and gives up the secret of his great strength. Newly shorn, he is taken captive by the Philistines and blinded, but when he is brought into a celebration where the Philistines and Dalila mock him, he prays for strength one last time. Performed in French with English translations.

American mezzo-soprano Denyce Graves makes her Florida Grand Opera debut as the legendary tempress, following her triumphant Metropolitan Opera performances in the same role. Florida City native tenor Jon Villars, who has earned international accolades in some of opera's most demanding tenor roles, joins her as Samson.
