Ballet
The murals in this series are inspired by the most significant classical ballet productions. The decor is executed in the Art Nouveau style, featuring pearlescent hues, flowing, sweeping lines, and strands of pearl beads. The ballet itself is rightfully considered a benchmark of high art and the pride of the world’s musical theater. For ballet dancers, the opportunity to perform a role in these legendary productions is a great honor and a professional milestone.
