Taking place one night only Wednesday, August 7 at Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall.
By: A.A. Cristi Jul. 24, 2024
Celebrate the 36th anniversary of Orange County's premiere resident ballet company with a gala performance where world-renowned ballet artists share their love and expertise of the craft with future, inspired young stars.
The often sold-out performance is a rare opportunity for Orange County audiences to see dancers from different companies in a combined program that celebrates the continue art and passion of ballet.
Festival Ballet Theatre Artistic Director Salwa Rizkalla has confirmed performances by these guest artists:
- Liza Avsajanishvili - Staatsballet Berlin
- Adji Cissoko - Alonzo King Lines Ballet
- Kyra Coco - American Ballet Theatre Studio Company
- Brady Farrar - American Ballet Theatre Studio Company
- Matthew Golding - International Ballet Star
- Liudmila Konovalova - Wiener Staatsballett
- Lucia Lacarra - International Ballet Star
- Julian MacKay - Bayerisches Staatsballett
- Vsevolod Maievskyi - English National Ballet
The “Gala” presents an unprecedented opportunity to see future stars and current stars connecting through the same language of dance. The young protégés will demonstrate their talent as a final step in their two weeks of intensive training with distinguished artistic directors: Christopher Powney of Royal Ballet School, Larissa Saveliev of Youth America Grand Prix and Gennadi Saveliev of Youth America Grand Prix, amongst other instructors.
As Festival Ballet Theatre honors their 36th anniversary, they continue their vision: With reverence for classic masterpieces and a focus on developing future tours de force, Festival Ballet Theater is committed to presenting the best of dance, enriching lives, and developing a new generation of audiences and artists.
