Festival Ballet Theatre Artistic Director Salwa Rizkalla has confirmed performances by these guest artists:

Beckanne Sisk and Chase O’Connell of Ballet West,

Sarah Lamb of Royal Ballet and Matthew Golding formerly of The Royal Ballet,

Svetlana Lunkina and Evan McKie of National Ballet of Canada,

Sasha De Sola and Vitor Luiz of San Francisco Ballet,

Skylar Brandt and Gabe Stone Shayer of American Ballet Theatre

Morgan Lugo and Juliano Nunes of Royal Ballet of Flanders

Maria Kochetkova, former San Francisco Ballet and American Ballet Theatre and Sebastian Kloborg, former Royal Danish Ballet

The “Gala” presents an unprecedented opportunity to see future stars and current stars connecting through the same language of dance. In the first act, young protégés will demonstrate their talent as a final step in their two weeks of intensive training with distinguished artistic directors: Christopher Powney of The Royal Ballet School, Larissa Saveliev of Youth America Grand Prix and Patrick Armand of San Francisco Ballet School. Two acts follow featuring the most prestigious stars of today. Orange County audiences will be treated to rarely seen repertoire from Val Caniparoli, Edwaard Liang, Juliano Nunes and more.

The often sold-out performance is a rare opportunity for Orange County audiences to see dancers from different companies in a combined program that celebrates the art and passion of ballet.
