Multiplicity. Forms of Silence and Emptiness
Bach meets ballet. In its Christmas premiere the Bavarian State Ballet expresses in virtuoso dance the emotional essence of compositions by Bach.
Multiplicity. Forms of Silence and Emptiness is a ballet inspired by the life and work of Johann Sebastian Bach and interprets Bach’s music through the idiom of contemporary dance.

Jiří Kyliàn will for the first time create an evening-length work for Munich.

100 Years Ballets Russes
Première of
100 Years Ballets Russes on December 7, 2008 in the Nationaltheater
The evening is dedicated to the “Ballets Russes”, the legendary troupe of Russian dancers, managed by Serge Diaghilev, who, a hundred years ago, initiated the development towards modern dance.
The three-part ballet program “100 Years Ballets Russes” will present two Munich premieres of works from Diaghilev’s repertoire, “Shéhérazade” by Mikhail Fokine and “Les Biches” by Bronislava Nijinskaja, together with a creation “Once Upon An Ever After”, a work the young choreographer Terence Kohler will produce in close collaboration with design artist Rosalie and thus revive the fundamental idea of the Ballets Russes: the mutual stimulation of choreography and graphic art.
