Yesterday was very busy but exciting day: first we had a stage rehearsal of Onegin with Elisa Badenes and our special guest Mathieu Ganio, Etoile of the Paris Opera Ballet. What a heavenly couple! After a short break, the stage rehearsals continued with Swan Lake! Hats off to the ladies of the corps de ballet!
