It is time to raise the curtain at Rivoli: the National Ballet Company is back, 15 years after its last debut in Porto

Fifteen years later the stage curtain is raised at Rivoli. The National Ballet Company returns to Rivoli some 15 years after its last debut in Porto.

The National Ballet Company brings world-class performances to the widest possible audiences.

This time, at home, where everything started back in 1977.

On March 10, a photo reporter from Porto.pt was behind the scenes and captured this special homecoming, just moments before the presentation of iTMOi - In The Mind Of Igor, a performance choreographed by Akram Khan. 

And it felt as they had never left.
