The National Theatre Brno together with the international organisation OPERA EUROPE organised an event called Opera Europa's Dance forum & Positioning Ballet. It was a groundbreaking meeting of more than 50 leading personalities of European theatres, especially artistic directors of ballet companies.
This meeting offered the opportunity for an in-depth discussion on the challenges, problems, benefits and future possibilities for cooperation. Artistic directors shared best practices, debated how it is possible to learn from each other and find new ways forward in structures that sometimes hinder the independence, profile and funding of ballet companies.
Guests also attended the premiere of the ballet The Vigil and the opening of the Dance Brno festival.
