Two days ago, at the première of Rudolf Nureyev’s Sleeping Beauty (second run of the year) at Opéra Bastille, I sprained my ankle during the finale — just a few minutes before the curtain fell. I was already feeling a bit tired after a demanding week of stage rehearsals, but reassured after a solid Générale... Continue Reading →
After 18 performances of Sylvia and around 20 tax declarations completed for my clients, this trip to Strasbourg with my family feels especially rewarding. The last time I visited Strasbourg was 14 years ago, with my host family. I still remember discovering the city for the first time—its charming half-timbered houses surrounded by golden autumn...

Life in a theatre is always changing. I thought I had finished all my Bluebird performances, but one day during a rehearsal of Sylvia at the Opéra Garnier, I saw a member of the direction walking straight towards me in the Petipa studio, looking a little panicked. They told me: “You have to go to the Lifar studio... Continue Reading →
This week, I completed my second and final performance of Nureyev’s Bluebird pas de deux — and I think it went a bit better than the first one! Right after a performance, I never quite know how it went until I hear back from the ballet masters, friends, colleagues, and see any videos that might come my... Continue Reading →

These last 14 days have been quite intense! I managed to complete my piano and dance performance in Lisbon, which I had organized... Continue Reading →
One of the major challenges I set for myself in 2024 was completing an International Wealth Management certificate course at AUREP, a leading institution in Clermont-Ferrand. Balancing my commitments—dancing at the Opera, meeting with my clients at PerformanceS by EMD, and studying—was quite intense. But I recently received good news: I passed the exam! For...

Today, it's my grandma Ah Ma's birthday. She would have been 99 years old. Since I moved to France, I used to go back to Hong Kong to see my family at least once a year, often during summer break. The global pandemic in 2020 broke this habit, and by March 2023, when I suddenly... Continue Reading →
