PAS DE QUATRE & LE CORSAIRE | World Ballet Day 2020
Despite the current situation, our company was fortunate enough to be able to stage a variety of productions before lockdown will put a stop to it once again. This we wanted to share with all of you. On World Ballet Day 2020, we therefore presented an excerpt from our gala programme FROM BERLIN WITH LOVE II:
The Grand Pas de Deux from LE CORSAIRE with Iana Salenko and Daniil Simkin as well as PAS DE QUATRE by Anton Dolin with Yolanda Correa, Evelina Godunova, Sarah Hees-Hochster and Aya Okumura.
FROM BERLIN WITH LOVE | Digital Gala

DU BIST DIE RUH | Yolanda Correa
Last year, nine choreographers contributed "pieces from isolation" to our contemporary programme LAB_WORKS COVID_19. Andreas Heise's DU BIST DIE RUHfeaturing Yolanda Correa, Arne-Christian Pelz (cello) and Alina Pronina (piano) was one of them, and we're excited to share it with you online.
DIORAMA | Daniil Simkin & Maria Kochetkova | Kronos Quartet
We're proud to present DIORAMA, a dance film conceived and created during lockdown by artists from across the globe, from Denmark via the United States all the way to Berlin.
Through the medium of film, dance and music, DIORAMA creatively tackles the emotional consequences all of us are confronted with in 2020. Featuring our Principal Dancer Daniil Simkin, last season's Principal Guest Maria Kochetkova and music by the Kronos Quartet, DIORAMA is a labour of love, digitally bridging the distance that has become an integral part of all our daily lives.
LOCKED IN | Vivian Assal Koohnavard
Our contemporary evening LAB_WORKS COVID_19 featured nine chreographies which were created during lockdown this spring. In advance, Vivian Assal Koohnavard, who was amongst the nine choreographers, provided us with yet another one of her ideas for a dance video.
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!
