The celebrated ballet star and choreographer Mikhail Baryshnikov will perform in Israel this summer.

The 62-year-old Latvian, who will perform at three events with ballerina Ana Laguna, has promised to give away 50 free tickets to rising ballet stars in Israel, according to recommendations from their teachers.

Mr Baryshnikov will perform his show “Three Solos and a Duet”, which includes choreography from Mats Ek, Benjamin Millepied and Alexei Ratmansky.

The shows, set to take place in June, will be held in Tel Aviv and Herzliya.
