Repertory
Nijinsky
John Neumeier's ballet "Nijinsky", which was premiered in 2000, returns to stage on May. This ballet is a "choreographic approach", not a "story ballet". It is a piece about the Polish-Russian dancer and choreographer Vaslaw Nijinsky, who has fascinated Neumeier since the beginning of his career. |

Repertory
The Song of the Earth
This June, John Neumeiers Ballet "The Song of the Earth" returns to the stage. Based on Gustav Mahler's musical rendering of seven Poems, the Ballet takes the audience on a journey through the rhythm of seasons and tells a story about friendship as well as the beauty of youth and nature. Last but not least, the ballet shows a perspective on human mortality. |

During the forthcoming season, I will celebrate my 80th birthday. This occasion offers an opportunity to weave some threads of my life into the program of the Hamburg Ballet. |
