The Dance Symphony triptych includes ballets inspired by the music of three 19th-century composers: Ludwig van Beethoven, Frédéric Chopin, and Georges Bizet. These choreographies offer an opportunity to explore the diverse relationships between dance and Romantic music.

Nutcrackers are, according to a German folk legend, good luck charms. And that statement certainly applies to the international ballet world: since the premiere of the original version in 1892, The Nutcracker has become the most beloved and most visited ballet in the world, especially around the holidays. Also in the Netherlands, where 325,000 visitors have already been enchanted by the heart-warming version by Toer van Schayk and Wayne Eagling.
