Ballet de l'Opéra national de Paris

The stars of the Ballet de l’Opéra national de Paris come to the Teatro Real with a spectacular programme in four parts, a musical journey through time and space, comprising a range of emotions, from the most introverted of worlds to the most dynamic of expressions. More than three centuries of history endorse one of the greatest repertory ballet companies, which today remain faithful to its double vocation of transmitting the beginnings as well as the latest trends in ballet.
