In 2026, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting the Opéra de Lyon for the creation of HØPE by Alessandro Sciarroni.

A guest artist at major international festivals, from the Venice Biennale to the Festival d’Automne, and recipient of the Golden Lion for lifetime achievement, Alessandro Sciarroni has found a home in dance. He creates emotionally charged works exploring rotation and choral voice work, as well as both traditional and popular dances. Already invited twice by the Ballet, notably as part of the Dance Biennale, he now puts the American myth of the lonesome cowboy to the test.
