With stirring music and arguably the greatest love story in the literary canon, »Romeo and Juliet« is one of the most popular ballets of all time. The tale of young, impetuous love and deep-seated, age-old hatred has been adapted countless times for stage, film and television.

Romeo und Julia

Musikalische Komödie

A place for creation. This is the Leipzig Ballet under the new direction of Rémy Fichet. The two-part ballet evening »Humans« opens up space for creativity and abstract narratives in the art form of dance.

Louis Stiens, born in Munich and most recently a dancer at the Stuttgart Ballet, not only explores how dance takes root in the body and how this affects his personal choreographic language, but also examines the history of the Leipzig Ballet and its work in the GDR, creating links with Schubert’s »Unfinished« Symphony.

Humans

Oper Leipzig

»The story of the bamboo cutter, or of Princess Kaguya«, is Japan’s oldest romantic fairytalelike narrative, dating back to 900. While at work, a childless bamboo cutter discovers a stray child, which he and his wife raise as their own. The radiantly beautiful child has been sent to earth as a gift from the moon, and though her beauty attracts powerful men as suitors: Kaguya is the princess of the moon and must return there.

Die Mondprinzessin

The opera has barely gotten underway before the first death occurs and Don Giovanni is in hot pursuit. But this does not stop the seducer of all seducers from going after the next woman: he adores them all! His wildly colourful exploits sweep him through all social strata, regardless to whether the lady of choice is already involved with someone else. Even if one may have slight doubts when it comes to the total number of his conquests – 1470! – Don Giovanni's appeal amongst women is undeniable. But what exactly is his secret?

Don Giovanni

In theatre, a Black Box typically describes a simple performance space, usually square, with black walls. It is the simplicity of the space that opens up a multitude of possibilities for stage configuration and, sometimes, audience interaction.
