*** THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC PERFORMANCE***
About the show: Carnaval 2025 will once again showcase Frank Leto and PANdemonium, along with the dancers from Odara Dance Ensemble. This vibrant production takes the audience on a journey to four iconic Carnaval destinations—Brazil, Trinidad, Cuba, and New Orleans—immersing them in the music, dance, costumes, and cultures of each region. This year, attendees will be invited to dance to the lively rhythms of samba, salsa, calypso, and more.
