2019/2020 Season Prematurely Terminated
"In the 47 years of my directorship of the Hamburg Ballet, it is for the first time that I have had to cancel the Hamburg Ballet Days and the Nijinsky Gala. This is a historical pause – for me personally and for my dancers and staff, but also for our loyal audience. It is particularly sad to cancel the ballet productions I intended to bring to Hamburg: the guest performances of the Polish National Ballet as well as the premiere of 'The Winter's Tale' by Christopher Wheeldon. I make a special effort to re-schedule this premiere as a part of next season's repertoire that might have to be rearranged", says John Neumeier.
"The implications of the restrictions caused by the global pandemic extend even further: It does not only threaten everyone's health, but also important achievements of our society. Particularly in times of crisis, the foremost objective of politics should be the preservation of culture as a means of creating a sense of community – providing the utmost freedom for artists to develop their unique art."

Living Traditions
Anniversaries are important landmarks that make traditions tangible. This is why I honour Ludwig van Beethoven with a new ballet in the week of his 250th birthday. The title of the ballet is "Beethoven 9" – a tribute also to the musical tradition, which the composer initiated with the "mythical" number of his symphonies.
