About

The Latvian National Opera honors its corps de ballet’s centenary with a rich program of celebrations. On December 1—the date of its first performance of La Fille mal gardée in 1922—you are cordially invited to enjoy the festivities, a once-in-a-century celebration of one of the world’s greatest dance traditions! Don’t miss an exceptional lineup of ballet stars, including Latvian-born Evelina Godunova, a soloist at the Berlin State Ballet, making an emotional return to the stage where she debuted at age 11 in Swan Lake; celebrated La Scala principals Nicoletta Manni and Timofej Andrijashenko; and Young Gyu Choi of the Dutch National Ballet, candidate for the 2022 Dancer of the Year Award!
