Today we celebrate the art which combines strength and gentleness, discipline and freedom, endurance and dreams.

Ballet is music transformed into a breath, a flight, into light. It reminds us that the human spirit can overcome the limit of what’s possible and reach infinity.

With deep respect and love, we congratulate our exceptional troupe: artists who turn every single day into dedication, every single hour into creativity and every step into poetry. Their work is not just dance: it’s an inspiration which tells stories without a single word.

Dear ballet artists!

We thank you for the beauty you share with the world, for the strength with which you overcome the pain and fatigue and for your passion which brings the stage to life.

Always be brave, shine with grace and may the stage greet you with the applause you deserve!
