After previously choreographing two movements of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony in the ruins of Delphi, Sasha Waltz, Germany’s most prominent choreographer since Pina Bausch, took the entire score as the starting point for a new performance by 14 dancers.

Beethoven 7

La Monnaie - De Munt

A three-part ballet evening with music by three composers who counted among the avant-garde artists of their day: Hector Berlioz, Claude Debussy und Igor Stravinsky. From Roméo et Juliette, the unexpectedly successful "Symphonie dramatique" that Berlioz completed in 1839, Sasha Waltz has choreographed the major love scene between the protagonists, which features delicate sound and multifarious orchestration. Debussy is represented with his Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, about which Pierre Boulez said, "the flute of the faun brought new breath to the art of music"

As the last premiere in his role as artistic director of the Dortmund Ballet, Xin Peng Wang presents the three-part ballet evening Dips . In addition to the world premiere of Drama Class by the young, internationally sought-after Israeli choreographer Nadav Zelner, the award-winning work Blushing by Marco Goecke will be shown.

Dips

Opernhaus Dortmund

The story of Odette, who is transformed into a swan and who must be rescued by Prince Siegfried from the clutches of the magician Redbeard, has everything it needs to be a hit: a magical setting, a love story that overcomes all boundaries, deception and betrayal, and a dramatic or - depending on your taste - open ending. Based on the emotionally expressive and haunting music of Peter Tchaikovsky, the choreography by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov (1895) has become the epitome of classical ballet.
