After performances in New York, Toronto, Moscow, Cannes, and Bucharest, we have the privilege to have the international ballet gala “Stars of the 21st Century” right here in Panama.

Watch the magnificent style of José Martínez and Agnes Letestu, from Paris Opera Ballet. As a young girl, Letestu study with Rudolf Nureyev developing into a precise and majestic dancer. Martinez is an astounding dancer, choreographer, and he is the director of the Paris Opera Ballet School.

Another marvelous dancer visiting us is Desmond Richardson. He dances with Complexions Contemporary Ballet in Nueva York City. Richardson is also a veteran from Alvin Ailey Dance Company, Frankfurt Ballet, and American Ballet Theater.

Enjoy performances by Daniil Simkin and Natalia Domracheva with a repertoire from Don Quixote PDD & Les Bourgeois. He is from the American Ballet Theater and she is from Ukraine National Ballet.

And to complete this constellation of ballet stars we also have: Lucia Lacarra, Denis Matvienko, Anastasia Matvienko, Shoko Nakamura, Marion Dino, Alina Somova, Vladimir Shklyarov, and David Makhateli.

This phenomenal group of ballet dancers is under the direction of Nadia Veselova Tencer. And this event is possible thanks to the efforts of the INAC, Oleg and Larisa Barzinsky, Panama Media Group, and Solomon Tencer Production.

“Stars of the 21st Century” is January 4 at Atlapa. Tickets are already on sale at Blockbuster stores and prices starts at $20.
