Hamburg Ballet is approaching it’s last two and a half months before the 08/09 season is over.  This year has been filled with so many wonderful experiences and I can’t believe how quickly it all passed by.

John has a beautiful way of tying his season together and the theme for next season will be “Floating World”.  The paragraph below was taken from the Hamburg Ballet Website and gives a little more detail on this theme.

It is with great delight that I welcome you to the various exciting highlights of our next season 2009/2010. The theme of the season is “Floating World” - symbolizing the bridging of cultures and emotions. This motto is also the title of the second premiere. Here “Floating World” is reminiscent of Japanese art. This evening presents three choreographies inspired by the traditions of No and Kabuki theatre. The first premiere “Orpheus” approaches the inner fight between work and intention of this famous figure of antique mythology. Our revivals are similarly moving: “Streetcar named Desire” describes a story of violence, insensibility and vulgar behaviour whereas “Illusions – like Swan Lake” oscillates between reality and illusion.

Season 2009/2010 Here you can find a complete list of what next season holds for this beautiful company.
