The Divine Comedy, Divina Commedia, is the main work of the Italian poet Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) and is considered the most important work of Italian literature and the basis for the modern Italian language. In it, Dante describes the stages of a journey through an otherworldly world. The Roman poet Virgil leads the author, who is also his own main character, through hell and purgatory. On their way, Dante and Virgil encounter the countless souls of the deceased, who tell of their respective fates. In paradise, Dante finally meets his childhood sweetheart Beatrice. In his reunion with her, the poet discovers the power of love and finds inner peace and tranquillity.

Choreographer Estefania Miranda uses the literary model for an “expansive” choreography. She asks about people’s greatest fears and desires and what might await our souls after death. She transfers the biblical deadly sins into a contemporary context. In the first part of the evening, we experience various choreographic installations on a journey of discovery through the opera house, which translate torments and sins into a contemporary dance language. In the second part of this sensual Gesamtkunstwerk, the audience follows Dante’s path to paradise from the auditorium as usual.

“She is a statue of beauty when standing or sitting: grace itself when she moves,” the 18th century English writer and artist Horace Walpole wrote about the legendary Queen of France Marie Antoinette. This colourful character from French history inspired the ballet by the French choreographer Thierry Malandain that premiered with his own ensemble, Malandain Ballet Biarritz, in 2019 in the very theatre that Marie Antoinette inaugurated on 16 May 1770 to mark her wedding to Louis XVI: the Opéra Royal Château de Versailles.

Marie Antoinette’s life in Versailles is central to Malandain’s ballet, which the choreographer has created to music by two of her contemporaries – Joseph Haydn and Christoph Willibald Gluck. The piece depicts her arrival at court, her wedding day, the opening of the opera house with Jean-Baptiste Lully’s Persée – as a ballet within the ballet – the attempted escape that would ultimately be her undoing and the infamous parties and balls associated with the Queen.

This four-part ballet evening brings together two legendary dance pieces and two world premieres.

The Ballett Zürich has a long-standing relationship with the American choreographer William Forsythe. His «New Suite» from 2012, set to music by Bach, Händel, and Berio, combines eight technically demanding duets from different creative periods, forming a showcase of his work «en miniature». Hans van Manen made dance history in 1979 with his video ballet «Live». Created in the pioneering days of video technology, this piece for two dancers, a pianist, and a cameraman explodes the boundaries of the stage space, revealing itself to be a masterful puzzle game about the mechanisms of perception.

Experience a spine-tingling children’s ballet written by one of Denmark’s funniest and most innovative authors, Kim Fupz Aakeson.
 

An ordinary girl is dancing in front of the mirror on an ordinary day when she suddenly stops. Something about her reflection isn’t quite ordinary. Perhaps she isn’t alone after all…

This is how the children’s ballet The Forgotten Children begins. The curious and fearless girl is determined to find out what happens if she climbs through the mirror—and this is where the adventure truly takes off. Suddenly, she finds herself in a bizarre underworld filled with strange characters, including the wicked Miss Master, who delights in stealing children’s hearts, a sneaky gang of cats, a troupe of cunning mice, and ghost children—lots of ghost children. But who are they? Why are they there? And what do they want?

Featuring choreography by the legendary Mark Morris, “undeviating in his devotion to music” (New Yorker), this program highlights music by iconic American composers in a celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary in 2026. Set to compositions by John Luther Adams, Northwest is a captivating contemporary exploration of Yup’ik and Athabascan rhythmic traditions of the southwestern Alaskan indigenous people. The dynamic You’ve Got to Be Modernistic revels in the music of jazz and stride piano pioneer James P. Johnson. The solo Three Preludes showcases Gershwin's jazzy elegance and rhythmic brilliance, while timeless songs from the 1920s and ’30s accompany the joyful Dancing Honeymoon, about which the Seattle Post-Intelligencer says, “this is vintage Morris and everybody, including the audience, has the time of their lives.”
