International Ballet Festival of Havana with Authentic Cuba Travel 2026
The 29th International Ballet Festival of Havana (Alicia Alonso) runs from 28 Oct to 6 Nov 2026, showcasing over 20 performances and several world premieres across Havana’s Great Theatre, Karl Marx Theatre, National Theatre and Mella Theatre. Top companies include London Royal Ballet, English National Ballet, Scala di Milano, American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet and Cuban National Ballet, featuring stars such as Carlos Acosta, Viengsay Valdés and Anette Delgado. The non‑competitive festival promotes artistic exchange with side activities: book presentations, conferences, film screenings, photography and painting exhibits, and cultural talks. The Authentic Cuba Travel tour adds full access to all ballet venues, pre‑arranged seating, and exclusive visits to Cuba’s National Ballet School, Lizt Alfonso Ballet School, the Cuban Art Factory, UNESCO World Heritage sites (Old Havana, Viñales Valley), community projects (Regla Folkloric Group, Cintio Vitier, Fabrica de Arte Cubano) and private art galleries. Participants engage in supported‑for‑the‑Cuban‑People activities, meet local artists, and experience curated meals at top private restaurants, blending high‑level ballet with immersive cultural and social experiences.
