Intérprete: Margarita Fernandes

Many world class performances to enjoy in this 20th edition of the annual Ballet Icons Gala.

With a trio of excellent performances, Balanchine's sassy Rubies proves the hit as Jewels – a relatively recent acquisition – returns to the Wiener Staatsballett. 

Ballet Icons Gala 2025 was the 19th since its inception. One can only applaud the dedication of Olga Balakleets, Founder and Artistic Director, for bringing many of the world’s most eminent dancers.

Highs and lows within a glamorous mixed bag of choreography are inevitable when people are travelling from around the world.

Even within a line-up boasting some of the greatest international stars from across the world, it is the youngest couple, making their UK debuts, who captivate the audience.
