Don't miss the all-male comedy ballet phenomenon Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo
What began in New York as a playful rebellion against the seriousness of classical ballet has grown into an international sensation, with sell-out performances that leave crowds howling with laughter and gasping in awe.
About Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo
The Trocks are masters of affectionate parody, serving up wickedly funny takes on beloved ballet classics while never losing sight of the artistry that makes them shine. Expect a whirlwind of swirling tutus, perfectly arched brows, blush-pink pointe shoes, and diva-worthy attitude — all delivered with a wink and razor-sharp comic flair.
But beneath the glitter and glamour lies something truly remarkable: extraordinary technical precision and athleticism. These dancers don’t just send up ballet — they perform it brilliantly, combining daring physicality with pinpoint timing to create something that is as impressive as it is hilarious.
Their eclectic repertoire blends iconic works with unexpected twists, including Swan Lake, The Dying Swan, Paquita, and more, alongside surprises such as the UK premiere of Metal Garden. Each performance is a joyful collision of elegance and exuberance, where high art meets high camp in the most dazzling way.
