For the first time in Romania, the fabulous Vsevolod Maievskyi, former First Soloist of the Mariinsky Theater and soloist of the English National Ballet will dance on the stage of the National Theater "I.L. Caragiale" Bucharest, in the mega-spectacle Stars Gala.

In a premiere for Romanian audience, this year's Stars Gala star will dance in a suite from the classic ballet Don Quixote. The Gala will take place on August 25, 2024, from 19:00 at the National Theatre "I.L. Caragiale" Bucharest, on the main stage of the "Ion Caramitru" hall.

Stars Gala is an innovative and unique cultural event in Romania, because it brings together on the same stage and in the same choreography, professional dancers at the highest level and young talents from Romania and abroad, helping them to become the next stars of the dance scene.

Confirmed for the highlight of the Stars Gala is Vsevolod Maievskyi, the young and incredibly talented first soloist who came from the Mariinsky Theatre to London's English National Ballet and is currently making a splash on the international stage. With his extraordinary physique and skills, Maievskyi is part of the new wave of talent performing alongside Maria Khoreva and other international super stars. At the Stars Gala, she will dance in a suite from the classic ballet "Don Quixote", alongside the world's young ballet hopefuls:
- Rebecca Rudolf (soloist with the Bayerische Staatballet Munich Junior Company)
- Alfie Pearce (ballet dancer at the Bayerische Staatsballett Munchen)
- Horia Bucur (ballet dancer at the Bucharest National Opera),
but also young performers selected during the intensive ballet workshop, Revolve Dance.

The choreography of the performance will be carried out by Nina Ivanovich (teacher of historical and character dance at Vaganova Ballet Academy) and Andrey Ivanov (Eifman Dance Academy - teacher of classical dance and ballet acting, and director of selection).

The performance will feature routines by teachers and former ballet dancers with famous names from the Paris National Opera: Carole Arbo ("Etoile" at the Paris Opera and teacher at the Paris National Opera Ballet School) and Bertrand Belem ("Sujet" at the Paris National Opera, silver medal winner of the Varna Ballet Competition and teacher at the Paris Conservatoire),
Nina Ivanovich (teacher of historical and character dance at the Vaganova Ballet Academy in St. Petersbug),
Kirill Melnikov (former soloist and first soloist at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Bavarian National Ballet in Munich and professor at the Ballet Academy - University of Music and Theatre Munich), Konstantin Kheykel (contemporary dance teacher and choreographer) and Balazs Baranyai (teacher at the Eifman Dance Academy and choreographer for the Boris Eifman, Mikhailovsky and other theaters).

After two weeks of intensive classes, the young people from the Revolve Dance workshop will present an extraordinary performance that will last 2h30 minutes with a break, and will have three parts:

- Open class Revolve Dance, with the participation of all the young dancers from all over the world (France, Germany, Bulgaria, Moldova, Ukraine, etc.) registered for the summer workshop who will present the creations of the invited teachers of classical, contemporary, character and neo-classical dance.
