Albania has produced some very talented performers that have become famous outside of Albania, including opera singers Inva Mula and Ermonela Jaho, instrumentalists Tedi Papavrami and Shkelzen Doli, and ballet dancers Ilir Kerni, Eno Peçi, Klejdi Kadiu and Ambeta Toromani, among others. For outstanding achievement in the field of ballet, the national ballet troupe and its soloists have been awarded honorary degrees, many prizes and various medals by the Albanian state and international institutions. The National Theatre of Opera and Ballet and the National Ensemble (or TKOBAP) has brought many artists to the Albanian and world stages. It was only after the collapse of communism in Albania that its artists had the opportunity to show their talents on world stages. The ballet troupe performs classical and modern Albanian and international ballets.
