Glimpses of Dance: Paris Opera's Junior Ballet

About the Event

Composed of dancers aged 18 to 23 from all over the world who have come to perfect their training and further their mastery of the classical and contemporary repertoire, the Paris Opera’s Junior Ballet, created in 2024, will be performing in several French cities and abroad to showcase its talents in a dedicated programme.

On 11 and 16 October 2026, the young artists will take part in the Défilé du Ballet on the stage of the Palais Garnier.

They will also take to the stage in January 2027 to perform no fewer than five pieces, including a creation by Anna Hop and two new additions to the repertoire by Altea Nuñez and Simon Valastro.
