Ratmansky's staging is more than a reconstruction. It's a staging that's moving and joyful in its own right.

Edward Clug’s choreography is consistently imaginative and powerful, and exceptionally ambitious in the case of “Faust”, which recently celebrated its world première in Zurich. 

Ballett Zürich's Anna Karenina travels to Hong Kong (sadly, sans orchestra.) Nevertheless, the dramatic staging, score, and outstanding performances, among them mezzo soprano Lin Shi, prove dazzling.

In an entirely new version of the ballet, choreographer Christian Spuck wanted to explore the darker realms and fantasy of the ETA Hoffmann narrative that inspired Tchaikovsky’s suite.

Christian Spuck’s marvellous ballet "Der Sandmann" (Sandman) was first performed in Stuttgart in the spring of 2006, but this marks its first run in Zurich.

The Zurich Ballet's production of Anna Karenina is an opulent feast. The great tragedy of love, loyalty and betrayal was set against a seamless score of music by Sergei Rachmaninoff and Witold Lutoslawski.
