46th Hamburg Ballet Days
It is with joy and optimism that we present our programme for this year's Hamburg Ballet Days. The festival will be opened by "Hamlet 21", a new version of John Neumeier's ballet "Hamlet" whose revival at the end of March 2020 was prevented by the Corona pandemic. For the first time in the history of the Hamburg Ballet Days, the "Nijinsky Gala" (the program) is scheduled for two consecutive performances. Except for "A Midsummer Night's Dream", all further productions of the festival will also be performed twice: "Ghost Light", "Beethoven Project II", "Death in Venice" and "Beethoven Project I".

Screening & DVD/Blu-ray
A Midsummer Night's Dream
As a part of the 46th Hamburg Ballet Days, John Neumeier presents his new ballet film "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in a screening on June 21. The Hamburg Ballet took advantage of the lockdown of the cultural sector and recorded this repertoire classic with film director Myriam Hoyer in 4K resolution and under studio conditions in the empty Hamburg State Opera. The newly released DVD/Blu-ray "A Midsummer Night's Dream" can be obtained from our online shop from June 21, 2021. The program for the ballet production is also available there.
