Geographic Scope: USA and France

Focus Areas:

Support for young artists in ballet and opera

Background: According to AFPOB Chairman Olivia Tournay Flatto: "The world of performing arts cannot exist without the artists, and the youngest of them are facing an exceptional ordeal to turn their demanding and life‐long training into a livelihood. Performances will resume once we will be out of this crisis, and when they do, we will need these talents."
