ANNUNCIATION is a neoclassical duet choreographed for the Kammer Saal program called "Choreographers of the Estonian National Ballet" on Cristiano himself and principal dancer Laura Maya Rosiers.

The piece is set to Samuel Barber’s Agnus Dei and is an abstract representation of the Gospel’s renowned episode in which angel Gabriel informs Mary about her divine conception.

It was also performed at Teatro Verdi in Padova, this time alongside principal dancer Elisabetta Formento.

During this ballet gala, Cristiano received the National Sfera D’Oro Award for his achievements as a dancer and choreographer.
