The Argentinian dance company Ballet Concierto, founded by Iñaki Urlezaga, performed at the Cairo Opera House's main hall on 3 and 4 October under artistic director Lilian Govine, with Eliana Figueroa and Urlezaga as principal dancers.

Starting dance lessons at the tender age of eight, Iñaki Urlezaga has now become one of the most prominent Argentinian dancers, and one of the most accomplished worldwide.

Between 1995 and 2005, Urlezaga was the Royal Ballet of London's principal dancer and he later joined the Dutch National Ballet as principal guest artist.

His repertoire includes Swan Lake, Don Quixote, Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet, Spartacus, Giselle, Anastasia, Eugene Onegin, to name a few.
