Eno Pe詬 a soloist with Vienna Opera Ballet

Albanian ballet dancer and choreographer Eno Pe詬 who has been performing with the Vienna Opera for the past 15 years, is now a real success after his performance as a soloist in the prestigious New Year’s concert of the Vienna Philharmonic.
In an interview for VoA in the local Albanian service, Pe詠dedicates his success to hard work and patience.
“Of course this is a long and great work. We rehearse every morning and later synchronize our exercise with music,” he said.
Asked about his favourite roles, Pe詠says he loves performing every character. “Every role is good for a ballet dancer because of gaining experience,” he says.
During the past four years he has also engaged in choreography.
Born in Tirana, Eno Peci received his training at the Ballet Academy in Tirana and at the Vienna State Opera Ballet School. He became a member of the Vienna State Opera Ballet in 2000, advanced to a demi-soloist in 2003, and was named in 2009 a solo dancer at the Vienna State Opera and Volksoper (Vienna People’s Opera). Among his most important roles are the title roles in John Cranko’s Onegin, Renato Zanella’s Spartacus, Ivan Cavallari’s Tchaikovsky Impressions, Puss in Boots and Pas de quatre in Peter Wright’s Swan Lake, Tybalt in John Cranko’s Romeo and Juliet, Lenski in Cranko’s Onegin, and Lescaut in Kenneth MacMillan’s Manon. He was awarded the title of “Honorary Ambassador” of the Republic of Albania (2008). For the International Festival of the Aegean, Renato Zanella created for him and Olga Esina the “Balcony Pas de deux” from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet.
