Exhibition

"A Look at Russian Ballet" at the Metropole Shopping Centre, Monte-Carlo

From 19 October to 16 November 2015, forty large-format photographs will decorate the walls throughout the Metropole Shopping Centre in Monte-Carlo

Alain Hanel is a stage photographer who has made several documentary reports in the Principality of Monaco.  He regularly works in association with the Monte-Carlo Opera, the Monte-Carlo Spring Arts Festival ("Le Printemps des arts de Monte-Carlo"), the Monaco International Circus Festival and the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra.

In this exhibition, forty photographs, taken at the Russian Gala, which took place on 12 and 13 September 2015 at the Grimaldi Forum, will be on exclusive display.

"The photographs presented in this exhibition are lively and full of energy and movement.  Their sensuality and the vast range of emotions they evoke are breathtaking.  This is an exceptional exhibition and I'm proud to work with the excellent photographer Alain Hanel," stated Gulshat Uzenbaeva, manager of Gala Russe S.A.R.L., who initiated the Russian Ballet at the Grimaldi Forum.

This artist has already exhibited twice in this well-known venue;  the first time was in 2014 and featured the Cambodian Royal Ballet on the occasion of the 30^th Anniversary of the Monte-Carlo Spring Arts Festival;  the second, in 2015, was on the theme of the Monte-Carlo Circus Festival.
