John Neumeier has always anchored his work in his profound musicality but it is probably in the music of Gustav Mahler that he has found the most profound echo of his own preoccupations, of his artistic universe. Invited to create a new choreography for the Opera Ballet, he pursues his exploration of this composer’s work and tackles the grandiose Das Lied von der Erde, translating into dance its emotions and mysteries. Drawing on his own poetic imagination, John Neumeier evokes the fatality and nobility of the human condition, ideas which resonate throughout Mahler’s setting of ancient Chinese poems.
