Performer: Hamburg Ballet

All that glistens... the world premiere of Xie Xin’s The Moon in the Ocean is the highlight of a mixed bill programme spanning 90 years of choreography. 

The rather imposing proposition of taking over the reigns from John Neumeier has fallen to Demis Volpi, who has brought fresh and explosive pieces into the repertoire at Hamburg.

In the 48th Nijinsky Gala of his 50-year tenure, John Neumeier curated a well-balanced and thrilling evening of dance with a most impressive roster of dancers.

Alina Cojocaru talks about the magical process of creating new roles, working with great choreographers and how, in spite of a long career, she is still learning every day.
