At the Ballet National de l’Opéra de Paris — the world’s first ballet school, founded by Louis XIV in Paris in 1661 — only a small percentage of the company may be composed of foreign dancers.
Today, that international presence is notably marked by Italian dancers.
Les Italiens de l’Opéra de Paris celebrates the success and artistic achievement of ten Italian performers who have earned a place within one of the world’s most prestigious and competitive ballet companies — guardian of classical tradition while also serving as a laboratory open to modernity.
Originally from Venice, Alessio Carbone brings Les Italiens de l’Opéra de Paris to major theatres across the world.
The specially curated program highlights the remarkable talent of each dancer, alternating between classical repertory and contemporary works.
