Raffaella
a new fairytale ballet
Raffaella is a new fairytale ballet commissioned by the Stroik family, in memory of their daughter, Raffaella Stroik. Inspired by her life, this full-length ballet follows the lineage of classical ballets such as “Giselle” and “The Sleeping Beauty” and seeks to embody Raffaella’s motto, “Beauty will save the world.”
