This two-part production comprises foreign and Hungarian, modern and classical concert pieces performed by stars of the Hungarian National Ballet, as well as work by young Hungarian choreographers Miklós Dávid Kerényi, András Lukács, Andrea Merlo and Mariann Venekei. Audiences have welcomed all the Palace of Arts ballet events with great interest so far. We hope that this gala-style production will be first of a long tradition and that the number one Hungarian ballet troupe will find new devote...es to extend its existing base of supporters.
