Слайд 2A beauty, grace, a fairy tale!
How else can you describe the
ballet? The magical world of art, once it touched the human soul – it will never leave it.
It is impossible and pointless to talk about ballet, one has to watch it and admire it. You will see world stars along with the ones making their first professional steps this evening.
Let us wish success to all who have devoted their lives to this beautiful art form.
