The 47th Nijinsky Gala in Hamburg celebrates the art of dance, the creativity of great choreographers and a totally committed company, while not forgetting what is happening not so far from our theatres.

Dutch National Ballet presents six Hans van Manen creations spanning 40 years of choreography. 

Now an ever-developing city, Budapest has become much more than faded grandeur, actually, and the Hungarian National Ballet’s recent moves reflect just that

Grand, bold dancing by great Ballerinas! Ballerinas dance their favourite pieces. Sexy and sleek Brandsen. Lovely, deep Wheeldon. Larissa Lezhnina's last night. An absolute go see.

If the number of bare male chests exposed on the stage at Sadler’s Wells this week is meant to suggest a symbolic baring of the male psyche then the Dutch National Ballet (DNB) underwent a good deal of soul searching in their celebration of Hans Van Manen’s work. Their resident choreographer has created 120 ballets in his sixty year career and in this programme DNB performs five.

Der Abend verdeutlicht, was Hans van Manen auszeichnet: ungeheure Musikalität und Konzentration auf das Wesentliche.

Malgré quelques temps forts, en particulier la reprise brillante de Herman Schmerman, la soirée « Etoiles de l’Opéra » laisse un avant-goût mitigé sur l'avant-scène du Palais Garnier.

Pour la première fois, le Ballet de l’Opéra de Paris interprète des œuvres du tandem Sol León et Paul Lightfoot, actuels directeurs artistiques du Nederlands Dans Theater.
