Lodz Ballet Festival

The Łódź Ballet Festival is the only dance festival in Poland of such a long-standing tradition and important artistic rank. Since its first edition in 1968, the stage of the Łódź Grand Theatre has hosted all the most prominent dance companies in the world, and the festival itself – thanks to an appropriate choice of repertoire – has become an exceptional forum of a confrontation between all that in the art of ballet and the dance theatre is most worth-while, current and worth of note. The festival is the creation of Stanisław Piotrowski - director of the Grand Theatre in Łódź , and Witold Borkowski - the ballet artistic director.
