"La Traviata" is the most performed opera in the world, and it is also one of the most tragic love stories ever told. Often reaching an unrestrained and syrupy banality in its interpretations, it contains timeless themes and conflicts: society and the individual, morality and righteousness, exploitation and the exploited, parents and children, illness and life, sin and redemption...

The 1920s. A fifteen-year-old girl from Japan dreams of a world filled with "love and freedom"—a world where a woman is happy, loved, and loving, dressed in silk dresses, with modern hairstyles and pearls, with rights, freedom, and the choice to be rich, independent, modern. This world is called America, and the girl's dream is the "American Dream."

"Romeo and Juliet" is undoubtedly one of the most popular and enduring tragic love stories of all time. Inspired by William Shakespeare's immortal tragedy, Sergei Prokofiev's ballet tells the story of two young lovers who dream of a life filled with unbridled passion and fiery love in a bold and brutal era, where questions of life and death are often resolved irrationally, in an atmosphere charged with intense emotions.
