On two major Kazakh stages — in the capital Astana and in Almaty — the IV Freedom Festival unites some of the most prominent names from the world of ballet.
Star performers from the Berlin State Ballet and the American Ballet Theatre joined forces with Astana Opera and the Berlin Ballet Company to present a two-act program: a classical staging of Paquita followed by a series of contemporary works. Tickets for the festival quickly sold out, a clear sign of the growing demand for world-class ballet in Kazakhstan.
