Junior Ballet de l'Opéra National de Paris

Designed as a breeding ground for young talents, the Junior Ballet de l'Opéra National de Paris aims to respond to several challenges: diversify dancers' profiles, foster their professional integration, confirm ties between the Dance School and the Ballet, and strengthen outreach to audiences through tours and mediation initiatives.

The Junior Ballet program is designed to alternate periods of intensive training and stage performances. During these two years of professionalization, dancers will be led to deepen their mastery of the classical and contemporary repertoire of the Opéra National de Paris, to strengthen their technique and the quality of their interpretation, and to experience the stage through resident performances and tours.

By giving opportunities to talents from all over the world, the Junior Ballet carries the desire to diversify the profile of dancers performing on the stages of the Opéra national de Paris, in line with the institution's commitments to diversity and inclusion.
