The Flower Festival in Genzano (Danish: Blomsterfesten i Genzano) is a one-act ballet by Danish choreographer and ballet master August Bournonville (1805–1879). Created for Denmark’s Royal Ballet and premiered on December 19, 1858, at the Royal Danish Theatre, it is regarded as one of Bournonville’s finest works. The ballet marks a transition toward naturalism and stands as a masterpiece of his distinctive virtuosity. It remains a quintessential example of the Danish style, celebrated for its musicality, elegance, and precise footwork.
