The Opera asks for money for new ballet shoes – Pages

Compared to several other cultural institutions, the Royal Operaian gets a lot of money through sponsors and grants. Now they have found another new funding technique: the toe-shoes collection

Fodbolds – as ballet dancers – is used diligently on the opera

Professional dancers can use up to 3 pairs of shoes per performance, explains Torbjörn Eriksson. TT

Here is one of the ways to engage our audience and tell us our story – to learn more about our artistic ballet.

Anyone who wants to support the Opera can now swisha and use bankgiro. However, the project is not only a question of economics and history, but also of the environment. Anyone who wishes can buy a pair of used and signed shoes for their own use.

They can be reused, but not in a context of professional performance. So, the project also has a sustainability perspective, says Eriksson

The company also wants to take advantage of shoes that will not be used or sold. When the collection ends in December, the Opera of all the shoes used will build a Christmas tree and put in the grand entrance.
