A ballet gala with a long tradition in support of the fight against cancer. A unique programme rich in style, with the participation of world ballet stars.
The Art for Life Ballet Gala Evening is a continuation of a long-standing tradition, which was initiated by the National Cancer Institute in Bratislava. The main idea of the event is to educate and support the fight against oncological diseases. Based on the philosophy that art heals, the first ballet stage brings a unique, style-rich programme, in which the leading soloists of the Slovak National Theatre Ballet and performers of leading European companies participate.
