E.ON

The Staatsballett Berlin is delighted to welcome E.ON – one of Europe's leading energy companies – as its new partner.

Partners for Diversity and Education

Partners for Diversity and Education

navigating.art

The existing digital exhibition on the history of ballet in Berlin on the Staatsballett Berlin website is being further developed with the extremely generous support of Navigating.art, a non-profit organization funded by the Hasso Plattner Foundation. In order to establish digital links with other archives and institutions, this intangible cultural heritage is being collected and curated in a sustainable manner. Think big!

Peter-Paul-Hoffmann Foundation

For the second season in a row, the Staatsballett Berlin is collaborating with the Peter-Paul-Hofmann Foundation. In the 2024/25 season, the foundation is supporting the performance of the opulent narrative ballet A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Hertie Foundation

During the 2026/27 season, the Staatsballett Berlin will offer regular dance classes for people with multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease, made possible thanks to the support of the Hertie Foundation. As a public institution, the Staatsballett Berlin aims to devote greater effort to promoting social participation and to give back to society beyond what is typically expected.

European Foundation of the Rahn Dittrich Group for Education and Culture

For the fourth consecutive year, Staatsballett Berlin and the Europäische Stiftung der Rahn Dittrich Group für Bildung und Kultur are continuing their successful partnership. In the 2026/27 season, the foundation is supporting the revival of the children’s ballet  Chicxulub oder Der Floh des Teufels.

H.E.M. Stiftung

With the support of the H.E.M. Foundation, the Staatsballett Berlin can for the first time realize a ballet for children and their families on the stage of the Tischlerei in the Deutsche Oper Berlin and supports the education programme Tanz ist KLASSE!.

Fidelio Foundation

The Berlin Fidelio Foundation is supporting the Staatsballett Berlin for the first time. The foundation's funding objectives are cultural mediation work and the anchoring of diversity at all levels of society. The great story ballet Nureyev fits the foundation's purpose not only because of its eventful performance history, but also because of the life story of ballet legend Rudolf Nureyev.
