Question
Hi,
I love ballet and this year I've decided to arrange my vacation around must see opera and ballet performances. I was thinking I could plan a tour around Europe to see and experience all the best! I would love to have your expert opinion - what is a must see this upcoming season?
Thank you in advance,
HI Alma, here's a link to performance festivals in Europe, mostly opera, but includes dance. You can check the links to see who exactly is performing.

mostly Russian...

What you should see is really just according to your taste. But, I would always try to see companies that don't tour much - sounds like you can have a fantastic vacation!
Also Dance magazine usually lists a calendar of European dance festivals.
Have a great summer!
