Following the operatic theme, we present excerpts from Vladimir Issaev's "La Favorita" from Donizetti's beloved opera as this ballet seamlessly integrates into the operatic narrative. The performance captures the drama and romance of the original opera, enriched by Issaev's masterful choreography.

We will also showcase "Markitanka" (La Vivandiere), choreographed by Saint Leon to the delightful music of Cesare Pugni. Although not related to the opera theme, this piece adds a touch of vivaciousness and charm to the evening, delighting audiences with its playful and lively spirit.

The highlight of the evening is the exquisite pas de deux from "La Traviata," set to Giuseppe Verdi's iconic score. This poignant ballet piece captures the deep emotions and tragic beauty of Verdi's opera, showcasing the emotional depth and technical brilliance of our dancers.
