Company Detail |
|
Nearly 20,000 dancers and others from the worldwide dance community have signed a appeal calling on the Calouste Gulbenkian. The foundation to reconsider its abrupt decision to end the prestigious Ballet Gulbenkian of Portugal.
The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, which defines itself as a private institute of public utility, has operated the ballet company since 1964. It also maintains the Gulbenkian Museum, an orchestra, and a 100-member chorus; funds learning and social welfare programs; and distributes prizes for artistic achievement through branches in Portugal and the United Kingdom. |
