Staatsballett on demand
Due to the current circumstances, we had to cancel all performances. However, you don't have to live without dance completely:
FROM BERLIN WITH LOVE – Digital Gala
We have reached the end of a more than unusual 19/20 season. However, we have a surprise for all dance enthusiasts out there. From July 3, 7pm CET, we'll stream FROM BERLIN WITH LOVE via YouTube!
LA BAYADERE
Rehearsal with Polina Semionova, Alejandro Virelles as well as ballet mistress Christine Camillo and Xiaoqiong Huang on piano.
In March, just prior to all of Berlin's cultural institutions shutting down due to Corona, we went to the studio with Principal Dancer Ksenia Ovsyanick once more to record one last solo from Alexei Ratmansky's »La Bayadère«.
SWAN LAKE
Rehearsal with choreographer Patrice Bart, principal dancers Yolanda Correa and Alejandro Virelles as well as ballet mistress Christine Camillo and Peter Hartwig on piano.

FROM BERLIN WITH LOVE | Ksenia Ovsyanick
A collaborative choreography by our quarantined dancers initiated by Principal Dancer Ksenia Ovsyanick.
I CAN'T GET NO...
Our dancers can't wait to get back on the stages of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Komische Oper Berlin and the Staatsoper Berlin!
SUNNY in the Park
At the end of August, our dancers might be back on stage, however, it'll still take some time until our entire ensemble will be able to share the same space. So, we decided to take Emanuel Gat's SUNNY with music by Awir Leon and the entire cast to the park, keeping the necessary distance, of course - SUNNY in the Park!
THEME AND VARIATIONS
In January 2020, Iana Salenko celebrated her debut in George Balanchine's »Theme and Variations«. Her dance partner Daniil Simkin used the opportunity to have one of their pas de deux filmed during rehearsal.
WORLD BALLET DAY 2019
On October 23, 2019, we participated in the global World Ballet Day programme. We screened classical and contemporary classes as well as rehearsals of »Plateau Effect« and »La Bayadère«.
DistANCE
Last year, the dance pedagogues of Tanz ist KLASSE! went to four Berlin-based schools to talk about »Grenzen«, which translates to »limits« but also implies »borders«, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Fall of the Wall.
The participating children not only choreographed their own dances but also engaged in the medium of film. The outcome is the 60-minute dance film DistANCE documenting the children's dances and in doing so becoming a form of dance itself.
