Exclusive offers and news in Rome

Rome is set to shine once again under the stars of great dance. On March 20 and 21, 2026, the Italian capital becomes the center of the international ballet scene with Les Étoiles, the gala conceived and curated by Daniele Cipriani that, year after year, turns dance into an experience of pure wonder. More than just a performance, it is an event that brings together elegance, virtuosity and emotion, appealing both to devoted ballet lovers and to those ready to be captivated by the universal power of movement. On the prestigious stage of the Sala Santa Cecilia at the Auditorium Parco della Musica, audiences will enjoy two evenings designed as a journey through different styles, schools and artistic sensibilities. Solos and pas de deux alternate in a program created to highlight technical excellence and expressive depth, offering moments of genuine stage magic. The cast brings together outstanding stars from some of the world’s most renowned institutions, from the Opéra de Paris to the New York City Ballet, alongside artists who have refreshed the choreographic language with a contemporary vision. Making the 2026 edition even more exceptional is the special appearance of Svetlana Zakharova, an absolute icon of classical ballet, whose presence elevates the gala into a truly unmissable event. Les Étoiles thus confirms itself as one of the most refined cultural highlights of Rome’s season, a celebration of dance as a timeless art capable of moving, uniting and enchanting audiences.
