Ballet Festival Weeks 2010

Best of…Twenty years of Bavarian State Ballet

The Ballet Festival Weeks 2010 are to bring the celebrations of the twenty-year jubilee of the Bavarian State Ballet to a festive end: they are to remind once again of essential highlights in the repertoire of the past two decades. The connection of history and present, tradition and avant-garde, the integration of aesthetic positions in their historic and contemporary context – that is how one might describe the guiding ideas of the repertoire programme of the Bavarian State Ballet.

The Ballet Festival Weeks 2010 will present a programme with three creations for the Bavarian State Ballet – Once Upon an Ever After, Der Sturm (The Tempest), Zugvögel (Migratory Birds) – the fifth premiere of a work by William Forsythe – the full-length Artifact – a three-day guest performance by the company of Pina Bausch, the Tanztheater Wuppertal, two galas that bring back memories with many excerpts from creations and ballets like “Shannon Rose” or “Emma”, “Le Sacre du Printemps” or “Manon”, dances by guest stars from all over the world.
