British principal dancers star alongside European and Ukrainian soloists who have come to the UK to dance with the Varna International Ballet and Orchestra as the company visits the UK for the first time in its 75-year history.
The season opened in Cardiff in December with classical performances of The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, Coppelia and Giselle.
British dancers Perdita-Jayne Lancaster, Claire Gillard and Megan Reid perform alongside Italy’s Marco di Salvo, Giulia Visalli, Frederico Farina, Marcello Pelizzoni and Vittorio Scole, France’s Pauline Clemence Faget and Pierre Gaston, Spain’s Francesca Busqets, Nahia Barcena and Xavier Lara Gill, Germany’s Julianna Correia Dreyssig and Ukraine’s Anastasia Lebedyk.
The company will visit Basingstoke, Oxford and Reading between now and March. Renowned for its award-winning soloists and magnificent corps de ballet, the company has been delighting audiences for decades at home in Bulgaria and abroad with performances of the highest quality.
