Orange County's International Ballet Festival

Festival Ballet Theatre’s annually sold-out 7th Annual Gala of the Stars showcases internationally revered guest artists from the world’s most prestigious dance companies, along with FBT's accomplished resident company. Celebrating more than 25 years of artistic excellence, Festival Ballet Theatre simultaneously attracts the best in professional dance to its home base while sending its own dancers out as artistic ambassadors to the world.

“The dancers… are an undeniable draw,” says dance critic Laura Bleiberg, about a previous year’s event. “It is rare to see these dancers sharing the stage together.”  This year’s cast and choreographers will include illustrious dancers of the caliber of previous years. For a list of last year's guest artists, click here.

Founded by Salwa Rizkalla in1988, FBT is dedicated to presenting works that epitomize the artistry of professional ballet, offering cultural awareness of dance through educational programs, and nurturing a creative environment for some of our country’s most talented dancers.
