With a ballet evening that is as brilliant as it is thoughtful, the Slovenian State Ballet Ljubljana and the Klagenfurt City Theatre continue their successful collaboration of recent years. Boléro combines two classics of modern ballet composed for large orchestra with the romantic melancholy of Chopin's Nocturnes for piano. The evening takes its title from Maurice Ravel's most famous work. He created Boléro on commission from the Russian ballerina Ida Rubinstein, but in dance history, Maurice Béjart's 1961 interpretation is considered a milestone. Choreographer Renato Zanella bases his work on Ravel's fundamental musical idea of ​​the struggle for supremacy between rhythm and melody, emphasizing that the beauty of melody rarely emerges victorious in a direct confrontation with the power of rhythm.

In 2023, composer Gerd Kühr, born in Maria Luggau, Carinthia, in 1952, received the Grand Austrian State Prize. With  Stallerhof , the Klagenfurt City Theater is now staging the opera that marked Kühr's international breakthrough in 1988. Stallerhof is a relentless piece about the silence in peasant societies, about social constraints, but also about the unloved individual's irrepressible longing for love.

Stallerhof

Faced with an authoritarian state, opera singer Floria Tosca finds herself in a struggle for her freedom and dignity as a woman and a stage artist. In a spiral of fear and violence, the boundaries between stage and reality begin to blur in a paranoid way.
