Junior Ballet of Paris Opera Debuts in Andorra la Vella

The Junior Ballet of the Paris Opera will perform in Andorra la Vella for the first time on Thursday, March 5, at 8:30pm in the Centre de Congressos. The event forms part of the 31st MoraBanc Andorra la Vella season.

This young ensemble, made up of dancers aged 18 to 23, draws from international talents and students at the Paris Opera's École de Danse. Launched in May 2024, the company aims to offer comprehensive training, ease entry into professional careers, and expand the Opera's artistic reach. It focuses on safeguarding classical choreography while fostering contemporary works, with an emphasis on outreach beyond Paris through off-site programmes.

The troupe has toured nine European cities between May and August 2025, including Athens, London, Madrid, and Santander. Its repertoire features pieces by renowned choreographers such as George Balanchine, Maurice Béjart, and José Martínez.

Sponsors including Chanel, Rolex, and EY back the initiative, helping the Paris Opera bring dance to wider audiences. The Andorra performance has the support of the French Embassy in the Principality.

Tickets are available via the MoraBanc Andorra la Vella season website, which also lists other events like the April 21 concert by Jakub Józef Orliński and Michał Biel.
