On December 28, 2024, a new star entered the Paris Opera. At 29, Roxane Stojanov joined the very closed circle of star dancers of the legendary institution. A journey traced from his childhood on the floor in Skopje, Brussels and finally Paris.
« I experience everything as a challenge that I want to take on. » She has perhaps faced the greatest challenge of her career. Saturday December 28, 2024, following the performance of Paquitain which she played the leading role, Roxane Stojanov was named star of the Paris Opera. “ A special emotion » that the 29-year-old artist feels after her nomination, and has difficulty realizing what is happening to her, since she has not yet danced again since that famous evening. “ I wanted this moment to come one day, even if I didn’t necessarily expect it now, she reveals to RFI in the corner of an office with a cozy atmosphere within the Palais Garnier. I also told myself that this might never happen. It was a motivation to push me to give the best of myself. But that wasn’t the thing that guided me in my show, in any case. »
Thinking about a career plan and living at a different pace than children of her age required Roxane to very quickly be autonomous, responsible and mature. “ It is the world of entertainment that requires these sacrifices. Obviously, it makes us grow faster. We just have to accept that the rules of the game are different, slides the star. It’s a chance we have, so I told myself that I had to give myself the means to go to the highest level, as quickly as possible. »
