It has been a few weeks since I came back to Paris from Hong Kong. In July, I allowed myself long walks along the Seine, reflecting on my life. It was a truly revealing and profound experience. I realized what really matters to me and what doesn’t. That reflection gave me clarity on the direction... Continue Reading →

This has been a special season, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Theatres were closed for a very long time and we started performing again at the Palais Garnier only in May 2021. At first, the number of audience was limited. However, the theatre is now allowing its full capacity again. The Paris Opera Ballet started... Continue Reading →

In the middle of the global pandemic, a Concours de Promotion (promotional contest) took place at the Paris Opera Ballet on 15th and 17th April 2021. Originally planned for November every year, the Concours 2020 was postponed due to the Coronavirus epidemic…… After a few months of lockdown, the dancers were not ready for this... Continue Reading →
In the past week, we performed twice the "Soirée Jeunes Danseurs" at Opera Garnier. Due to the current sanitary restrictions, the two performances took place with an almost-empty audience. The first show (Friday evening) was only open to 150 to 200 members of the Paris Opera. A new "lockdown" in Paris was announced just the... Continue Reading →
