Opening Gala 23/24 season
Palais Garnier
19h30
Dress Black tie - long dress
Always an eagerly awaited event, the Gala marks the opening of the ballet season. On the stage of the Palais Garnier, the magnificent Défilé du Ballet presents the entire Company. The School’s students join the Étoiles adorned for the occasion in sumptuous tiaras and tutus designed by Chanel. Three female choreographers are honoured in this Gala with a decidedly contemporary approach. Created in 2016, Crystal Pite’s The Seasons’ Canon is already a classic in the Opera's repertoire. Marion Motin’s The Last Call and Xie Xin’s Horizon are both first creations for the Company’s dancers.
