Dubai: Coming from the Opera National de Paris in France, ten soloists will be performing at four galas to take place between January 9 and 11 at the Madinat Theatre.

“France is a country with an exceptional history of ballet and we are proud to be its ambassador,” said Karl Paquette, leader of the group of performers, in a press release. “Dubai as a global crossroads and a growing cultural destination shows a vibrant thrust culture scene that we want to embrace by performing here.”

The performers will bring with them a mixture of traditional and modernised dance routines, and will perform more than just pure classical ballet, with their neoclassical pieces particularly set to impress.
