Description
The Greek National Opera Professional Dance School presents its annual performance on GNO TV, under the direction of Giorgos Matskaris, for the year 2023.
This performance allows us to meet the stars of the future, to applaud their youthful elan, and to reward their efforts to become the dancers of tomorrow.
The showcase features excerpts from the ballet La Bayadère, with music by Ludwig Minkus. The choreography –based on Marius Petipa’s classic version– is by Fotis Diamantopoulos, with coaching by Eleni Kladou, Elisavetta Basova, Lydia Kayou, and Vassiliki Spyridonos.
Additionally, the internationally acclaimed Greek choreographer Haris Gekas has created a new piece, Crossover, specifically for the GNO Dance School.
