A mysterious Christmas Eve, a sparkling Christmas tree, and a very special present: Clara is about to experience a night that could only happen in a fairy tale. The nutcracker she receives as a Christmas present becomes the gateway to a magical world where toys come to life, mice fight, snowflakes dance, and dreams come true

Get closer, be informed earlier. At the "Onboarding" event, you'll experience first impressions of upcoming premieres and get a behind-the-scenes look at the Leipzig Ballet's rehearsal process. In a relaxed atmosphere, the Uwe Scholz Ballet Hall becomes a meeting place for conversation and, of course, dance.

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

With »Mozart / Rachmaninoff«, the Leipzig Ballet pays tribute to Uwe Scholz, whose choreographic work characterizes the city like a silent echo. His art is shaped music, a language of light, space and movement that captures the ephemeral while also exploring the eternal.

Mozart / Rachmaninoff

Venturing into new territory, shaping their own movements, developing individual styles – New Waves provides the members of the Leipzig Ballet with a platform for their first choreographic works. Under the direction of Rémy Fichet, the Leipzig Ballet stands for a spirit of experimentation, curiosity, and creative development. This format creates a platform for young choreographers who want to explore and further develop their own movement language.
