Memories of season 25/26 with @wienerstaatsballett

I can’t believe another season is complete! When I see it all together I’m so proud of all the work and growth I felt this past year. I’m so grateful to be a part of such an incredible company 😊

Congratulations @alessandraferriofficial_ @marcelogomesofficial and @pinoalosa for your outstanding inaugural season! I’m so happy to come to the opera everyday, to work and learn from your irreplaceable knowledge and guidance ✨😁

Season 2025/2026

Thank you.

You’ve been the best season yet. So many firsts. So many moments I wish I could relive. Nothing was expected, yet everything just kept getting better and better. And just when I thought this season couldn’t possibly give me anything more, it ended in the most unforgettable way.

At the end of the Ashton Gala, I was promoted to Demi-Soloist with the @wienerstaatsballett

I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long. I kept pushing, never lost hope, and through all the ups and downs of the past seasons, I never stopped believing. Only my family and closest friends know what this journey has truly been like. Thank you for always standing by me—I couldn’t have done it without you.

Thank you to my first teachers in Verona, to all the teachers at the ballet academy, and of course to my ballet masters: Louisa, Marcelo, Pino, Barbora, and Lukas. Thank you for believing and pushing me.

Lastly, thank you, Alessandra. Thank you for coming to Vienna, for seeing something in me that I had always hoped someone would. Thank you for being such an incredible director and for your unwavering support. I feel incredibly lucky to have met you, and I couldn’t be happier.

I can’t wait to see what the future holds. Only forward from here.

Feels surreal that my first season with @wienerstaatsballett is officially over, and I can now call this beautiful place home. 🥹 Truly grateful to be surrounded by wonderful people who inspire me every day, and so excited to be back in September! 🫶🏼❤️

I had such a blast dancing in this evening! Thank you to @joaquindeluz for your inspiring, childlike joy in Interplay and @jessicalangchoreographer for your beautifully spiritual Mingle 💙 It was a pleasure to be part of an evening showcasing influential American choreographers, both past and present ☺️
