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.”

What can we do to honor our darling
Raffaella Maria Stroik?
Raffaella was in love with people, with God and with ballet. We commissioned this original ballet based on her story. While the project is in production, we still need additional support to cover costs for dancers, the orchestra, stage design and sets, costumes, and event promotions. Your continued support will help ensure the show stays on track.
