With "Beethoven Project II" at the Whitsun Festival in Baden-Baden
For the Whitsun Festival in May 2021, the Hamburg Ballet and the SWR Symphony Orchestra are planning to perform John Neumeier's ballet "Beethoven Project II" in the Baden-Baden Festival Hall. The choreography is based on a violin sonata, passages from the oratorio "Christ on the Mount of Olives" and Ludwig van Beethoven's Seventh Symphony. The Hamburg Ballet has been a guest in Baden-Baden every year for more than 20 years. At the opening of the 2020/2021 season, the company could also be seen with "Ghost Light" on the stage of the Festspielhaus. The cooperation with the Festspielhaus will be continued in May 2021. The world premiere of John Neumeier's ballet "Beethoven Project II" is currently scheduled for April in the Hamburg State Opera.
