About the Matinee
This matinee provides interesting background information and insights into a new production.
For the last time, you will have the opportunity to experience ballet director Martin Schläpfer together with conductor Christoph Altstaedt in conversation about his work as well as in rehearsal excerpts with the dancers Hyo-Jung Kang, Rashaen Arts and Robert Weithas.
Sandra Jennings will also give you lots of interesting background information on George Balanchine's ballet Divertimento No. 15, which she is rehearsing in Vienna on behalf of the George Balanchine Trust New York. Cheryl Therrien and Ashley Chen will provide insights into the work of Merce Cunningham in a conversation and a lecture demonstration on Summerspace with the dancers Katharina Miffek and Robert Weithas.
