The tour runs from January 23 to 25 and features a two-part program.

The first part includes highlights from classical ballet, with scenes from Swan Lake (Adagio), Les Sylphides, and Don Quixote. The second part presents the one-act ballet Carmen Suite. The production was choreographed by Alberto Alonso to music by Rodion Shchedrin, inspired by Georges Bizet.

Carmen Suite explores themes of freedom, fate, and passion. The ballet is widely regarded as a major work in world choreography.
