The premiere of Paquita the night before was also cancelled due to dancers’ strike. It is not clear how many days the strike is scheduled for, or if it is a rolling strike.

The Paquita programme is scheduled to run until 4th January. Alexander Ekman‘s Play is scheduled to premiere on 7th December and run until 4th January at the Palais Garnier.
