Artistic Director Antonel Oprescu
A few words from the artistic Director
Our ballet company of the National Opera Bucharest is a true engine for young talent: dynamic, passionate, and full of promise. As a young and vibrant ensemble, it brings remarkable emotion and energy to the stage, creating performances that resonate deeply with the audience. With dedication, artistry, and a strong sense of unity, this company continues to grow and inspire, shaping the future of ballet with every performance. We aspire to share this passion with all those who feel and love the art of dance, opening hearts and building bridges between people through the universal language of movement. We strongly believe that dance has the power to unite, to transcend borders, and to bring together souls from all around the world. With every performance, we aim not only to captivate, but to create a genuine connection-to inspire and to offer an experience that lives on long after the curtain falls.
