Les étoiles
Stars of the Paris Opera Ballet
Experience the very best from the world of ballet when København Danser presents fourteen star dancers from the Paris Opera on the June 3.-4. 2023 at Østre Gasværk Theatre.
In a bubbly gala program, the star dancers will perform excerpts from the company's impressive repertoire and leave the old gas tank full of sparkling, French stardust.
France is the homeland of ballet, and the national pride The Paris Opera has had a great impact on the development of the romantic ballet tradition. Today, the prestigious company's repertoire includes both classical ballet from the 19th century, modern ballet by famous choreographers such as Maurice Béjart and Roland Petit as well as brand new international choreographies. The star dancers of the Paris Opera belong to a class of their own, and they are not only sublime ballet dancers. They are only appointed as star dancers if they have a very special charisma and radiance which can enchant a large audience. We can therefore guarantee an extraordinary French evening!
