Last night’s premiere of the ballet Alice in Wonderland by Cuban choreographer Howard Quintero Lopez was an outstanding success and delighted the audience. The performance received a long applause and numerous praises, both for the dancers’ superb execution and for the imaginative choreography, vivid set design, and fairytale costumes.

All ten upcoming performances until the end of the month are already sold out, clearly confirming that the Opera is a highly sought-after cultural institution. Visitors are evidently eager for high-quality artistic experiences, as also demonstrated by the excellent response to this premiere.

The success of Alice in Wonderland and all previous performances is therefore not only an artistic achievement, but also an important signal that audiences recognize and support top-tier cultural experiences at the central national opera and ballet theatre.
