On November 15, the 3rd Dubai Opera Ball, one of the iconic international events of cultural dialogue, took place in the UAE. Placido Domingo, the most famous tenor of our time, opera diva Sonya Yoncheva (soprano), brilliant violinist Pavel Milyukov, jazz star Igor Butman (saxophone) and many others performed on the stage of the Dubai Opera House, accompanied by the Philharmonie Der Nationen orchestra under the direction of the legendary conductor and pianist Justus Franz.

Representatives of International Friendship Clubs from Russian regions, as well as foreign students of RUDN from 15 countries, took part in the event as debutants. This was reported by Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

The 15 pairs of young people from Russia and abroad performed a debutante dance to the works of Johann Strauss Jr. The foreign participants of the ball were representatives of China, Algeria, Tunisia, Sri Lanka, Côte d'Ivoire, Turkey, Bolivia, India, Latvia, Zambia, Benin, Turkmenistan, Costa Rica, Kazakhstan and Belarus.

As the adviser to the head of Rosmolodezh on international issues, director general of the Directorate of the World Youth Festival Daniil Bisslinger told the publication: "In each pair, one of the participants represents our country, the other - a foreign country. The dance became the embodiment of international dialogue and friendship, which is supported by young people of Russia and the whole world. This event demonstrates that there are no boundaries for young people, they want to communicate, study each other's traditions and create joint cultural and social projects."

Rehearsals took place at the RUDN University in Moscow. The International Ball Association headed by dance master Mikhail Gribov was in charge of preparing the young people. According to him, the debutants of the cultural event had only 4 days to prepare, and the entire dance lasted 8 minutes, which was a serious challenge for the newcomers.
