Bringing together an exceptional lineup of international ballet stars, this landmark Gala features dancers from leading companies including The Royal Ballet, Paris Opera Ballet, La Scala Theatre Ballet, Dutch National Ballet, Berlin State Ballet and American Ballet Theatre, all performing to live accompaniment by the English National Ballet Philharmonic Orchestra.
