The ballet gala evening brings together the leading soloists of SNG Opera in balet Ljubljana in a program that combines classical repertoire and contemporary choreographic poetics. It is an evening of technical precision, expressive strength and stylistic range – from virtuosic classics to narrative ballet fragments of powerful dramaturgy.

The program features selected excerpts from renowned ballet and opera-ballet titles that move between the fantastical, the romantic and a critical reflection on society.
