The Monte Carlo Opera is a symbol of elegance and culture in the Principality of Monaco. From its beginnings to the present day, it has captivated audiences around the world with its architectural splendor and magnificent productions. Located in the heart of Monaco, it has played a crucial role in the promotion and preservation of this unique art form. It was founded in 1879 by Prince Charles III of Monaco and designed by Charles Garnier, whose name has become synonymous with architectural beauty.

Throughout its history, the Monte Carlo Opera has been the setting for numerous outstanding productions and events. Some of the most famous operas of the classical repertoire have been performed on this prestigious stage, with outstanding conductors and world-renowned singers. In addition to regular productions, the opera house has hosted internationally renowned events and festivals.

Today, the Monte Carlo Opera remains an important cultural and artistic center. Its programming includes a wide variety of opera productions, ballets, concerts, and special works. The Opera has adapted to contemporary trends and preferences while maintaining its commitment to artistic excellence.

The Monte Carlo Opera acquired five Avant ballet bars that have been used in the grand opera “The Damnation of Faust”. Composed by Hector Berlioz, it is a masterpiece that combines music, theater and poetry to tell the tragic story of the legendary character of Faust. This work let us immerse in an emotionally intense journey that explores the quest for knowledge, the thirst for power and the struggle between good and evil. With captivating music and powerful storytelling, “The Damnation of Faust” is a unique experience that has dazzled audiences for generations.

The plot is based on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s epic poem, which tells the story of Faust, a tormented scholar unsatisfied with his life. In his quest for wisdom and experience, Faust makes a pact with the devil, represented by the character of Mephistopheles. This pact triggers a series of events that lead Faust on a tortuous journey of fleeting pleasures, heartbreaking loves and despair. “The Damnation of Faust” is an opera that invites us to reflect on profound themes such as power, redemption and the consequences of our actions.  At minute 0:53 of the following video you can see our ballet barres on stage:

Conceived by two of Italy’s great icons of stage, Franca Bartolomei and Walter Zappolini created the Balletto di Roma in 1960 with the desire to enhance and promote Italian dance.

Located in the capital, thel Balletto di Roma is the leading production house of ballet in Italy. Over the last ten years they have been responsible for more than 950 performances throughout the peninsula, with more than 390´000 people in attendance and a number of international tours across the world. ARABESQUE DOBLE.

In 2012, Balletto di Roma grew to also become an educational institute, with the opening of their first school. Dinamica Ballet provided the ARABESQUE-DOUBLE to fit out the new dance studios with a double row of wall mounted ballet barres. Together, the ballet company and school create an active synergy of training and performance, sowing the seeds and nurturing future talent.

Balletto di Roma is proudly fulfilling the founding fathers’ dreams and growing into the very lifeblood of ballet in Italy.

A few months ago Ronan and Triin contacted us and told us that they had a dream. Today, that dream has come true. This is a story of love and dance. Triin grew up in Estonia, she started dancing when she was 5 years old following in the footsteps of her brother. She later graduated in dance and choreography from Tallinn University. Ronan grew up in Concorneau, a beautiful town in French Brittany considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Chance led them to meet in Paris and from there they went to live together in Italy, where Triin started teaching ballet again. After a few years they returned to Ronan’s hometown, Concarneau, where the couple started dreaming about creating their own classical dance school. Shortly after, the phone rang at Dinamica Ballet. Ronan told us about his dream, his project that until then only existed in her mind. We were touched by his passion for creating an artistic and cultural space that went beyond a ballet school. They wanted to create an authentic classical dance institution in Concarneau, where the teaching of classical ballet did not yet exist.

We started working on the project with Ronan and Triin from scratch, studying the size and configuration of their classrooms, the profile and number of students, and the type of teaching that was going to be taught. From there we analyzed which products could best fit into their spaces and we shaped their ideas until they became a reality. Today CCA Danse is already the first classical dance school in Concarneau. Triin offers a harmonious combination of quality teaching, engagement between teachers and students, and good humor. Our Amadeus wall-mounted mirror with bars, the Pina double mobile barre, a classic in our catalogue, and the Billy mirror with wheels integrate perfectly into the two CCA Danse venues.

From Dinamica Ballet it makes us happy to see how a project born from love has become a reality. We love collaborating with our clients in the conceptualization of their ideas and seeing how, as a result of effort and work well done, Ronan and Triin’s dream is now a reality with students of all ages discovering the expressiveness, musicality and technique of this wonderful discipline that is classical ballet.
