Overview

Romance, elegance, and heartbreaking emotion come together in La Dame aux Camélias. Inspired by Alexandre Dumas fils’ celebrated novel, this full-length ballet transforms one of literature’s greatest love stories into a moving dance drama, where expressive choreography and evocative music reveal the emotional depth of its unforgettable characters.

At the heart of the story is Marguerite Gautier, the beautiful Parisian courtesan whose passionate love for the young Armand Duval offers the promise of a new life. Yet their happiness is challenged by social conventions, family expectations, and personal sacrifice. As love gives way to heartbreak, the ballet unfolds with emotional honesty and dramatic intensity, capturing both the glamour of Parisian high society and the profound vulnerability of its protagonists.

Derek Deane’s choreography blends classical technique with expressive storytelling, creating a ballet that is both visually elegant and deeply human. Graceful pas de deux, sweeping ensemble scenes, and richly drawn character relationships bring Dumas’ timeless novel to life, while the production's refined visual style enhances the atmosphere of romance and melancholy.

Via San Carlo, 98

The Teatro Reale di San Carlo (Royal Theatre of Saint Charles), as originally named by the Bourbon monarchy but today known simply as the Teatro di San Carlo, is an opera house in Naples, Italy, connected to the Royal Palace and adjacent to the Piazza del Plebiscito. It is the oldest continuously active venue for opera in the world, having opened in 1737, decades before either Milan's La Scala or Venice's La Fenice. The opera season runs from late January to May, with the ballet season taking place from April to early June. The house once had a seating capacity of 3,285, but has now been reduced to 1,386 seats. Given its size, structure and antiquity, it was the model for theatres that were later built in Europe.
