Modern choreography meets the Baroque: A double-bill “Corpus” in Zurich

Three different and highly-spirited works, each choreographed for the Junior Ballett Zürich, were recently performed at the city’s opera house.

Christian Spuck revisits Verdi’s sublime Messa da Requiem with a host of gifted dancers and singers at the Zurich Opernhaus.

Based on a story published by Heinrich Heine in 1834, Giselle has long stood as a front runner in the classical ballet canon.

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.

Made up of aspiring professional dancers from eight different nations, the Junior Ballett Zürich performs a programme of internationally renowned choreographers every two years.

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.
