Opening of the season 2019

I am officially into my 5th season at the Paris Opera Ballet. The company opened its anniversary season (It’s been 350 years!) on 20th September. For the first time since I entered the company, I performed after the défilé in Forsythe’s BlakeWorks I. Here are some highlights from the evening:

  • Students waiting for défilé rehearsal at Foyer de la Danse
  • During défilé rehearsal, view from Foyer de la Danse
  • Défilé costumes
  • Mine!
  • Makeup
  • Me ready for Défilé
  • Opera Garnier decorated for gala
  • Dressed up for after-party of the gala performance
Exceptionally for this gala performance, for technical reasons, during Blake Works I, we must move from stage right to stage left only through the tunnel underneath the stage.

Originally from Hong Kong, Chun-wing is the first Chinese dancer to join the Paris Opera Ballet (Opéra National de Paris). Chun-wing has been passionate about music since the age of 3, he would play the songs that he used to sing at the kindergarten on the piano. At the age of 7, his mother introduced him to ballet. A few years later, he decided that he would like to become a professional dancer. With the help of his teacher, Miss Jean M. Wong, he moved to Paris to receive full-time training at the Paris Opera Ballet School when he was 14. After 4 years of training, he was accepted by the Paris Opera Ballet in September 2015. Chun-Wing was promoted to Coryphée in April 2021.
