Ballett: Pathétique - Premiere - Schedule, Program & Tickets

Content:
Two icons of New York modern dance meet in a world premiere by Martin Schläpfer:
With Divertimento No. 15, George Balanchine created a fragrant neoclassical Mozart ballet, but Merce Cunningham has not lost touch with the skies in his bouncy dance piece Summerspace. Martin Schläpfer, on the other hand, choreographs a new work for the dancers of the Vienna State Ballet to a highly dramatic symphony: Tchaikovsky's last Pathétique, characterized by emotional highs and deep slumps.

Divertimento No. 15 22 MIN.
Interval 25 MIN.
Summerspace 22 MIN.
