5/5

The performance was fantastic. Great ballet from coreography to dancers. One thing let me down though. The evening booklet was sold out before it started however there were tons offered for free to guests that were left unused. So i had to watch the dancers without knowing who is performing. I would suggest for next one ro display thr dancers and coreography names in thr background. So while the event is beautiful the organisation for the night itself needs improved. Thank you for an unforgetable evening. nonetheless.
