| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Friday 24-May-13 08:00pm Forsythe, Clug, Lightfoot /León The second ballet evening of this season is characterised by a sense of inner drama. It combines two milestones of recent ballet history with a new creation, and offers the opportunity to witness the combination of three fascinating dance languages in one evening. The American William Forsythe has influenced and shaped ballet in the second half of the 20th century like no other choreographer. In his work, he explores and crosses the boundaries of dance as an art form, time and again. In New Sleep, created in 1987 for the San Francisco Ballet, three clown-like figures – accompanied by electronic music by Thom Willems – fall under the spell of a yardstick, a potted plant and a collection of bowling balls.
For the first time, Zurich Ballet will be working with the Romanian choreographer Edward Clug, who rose to international fame primarily thanks to his ballet Radio and Juliet, a modern interpretation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet set to the music of the rock band Radiohead. Clug’s pieces, which enchant audiences with their often absurd tempi and their wealth of choreographic detail, have been performed in Lisbon, Zagreb, Essen and at the Stuttgart Ballet, among other locations.
Having thrilled audiences in Zurich in 2004 with their furiously witty choreography, Skew Whiff, choreographers Lightfoot/León now present their ballet Sleight of Hand. The Englishman Paul Lightfoot and the Spanish woman Sol León met in 1987 in the ensemble of the Nederlands Dans Theaters (NDT) and are among the internationally most sought-after choreographers. They have succeeded Hans van Manen and Jiří Kylián as representatives of modern dance in the Netherlands. Paul Lightfoot took over the directorship of the NDT in the 2011/12 season. In the mysterious darkness of Sleight of Hand an encrypted fantasy unfurls; its dance and theatrical roots lie in the story of a family fraught with conflict. The title, Sleight of Hand, is a reference to the art of card-playing. | ||

Opernhaus, Zürich Leonce and Lena |
|
 | ||
| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Wednesday 5-Jun-13 07:00pm Leonce and Lena Leonce und Lena Music by Strauss II, Johann (1825-1899) / Zimmermann, Bernd Alois (1918-1970) / Donner, Martin / Schnittke, Alfred (1934-1998) Choreography by Christian Spuck BALLET by CHRISTIAN SPUCK
After the comedy by Georg Büchner
Music by Johann Strauss, Bernd Alois Zimmermann, Amilcare Ponchielli,
Alfred Schnittke and Martin Donner
Swiss première
Christian Spuck has long been fascinated by the works of the German playwright Georg Büchner, whose work stands between German Romanticism and the emerging Modern Age. Taking a coolly analytical view, the author performed autopsies of the human soul, as it were, and as the poet Durs Grünbein put it, “registered the fissures that pass through the individual at an early stage, and certainly not coldly.” From 1836, Georg Büchner lectured in medicine in Zurich, and died here at the age of only 23. Christian Spuck created the full-length narrative ballet Leonce and Lena for the Aalto Ballet Essen in 2008. Zurich Ballet will now perform the piece for the first time in Switzerland – only a few weeks before Büchner’s 200th birthday.
The royal children Leonce and Lena have been betrothed without knowing one another. Both decide to escape the wedding. Leonce, who is tormented by boredom, intends to go to Italy with his companion Valerio and live there in indolence; Lena is persuaded to escape by her governess. The two encounter one another en route – and fall in love. Ignorant of one another’s identity, they appear masked at the court of Leonce’s father and are married.
Christian Spuck transforms Büchner’s subtly sarcastic comedy into a high-spirited, fast-paced and imaginative farce of automata, at the same time providing the danced caricature of the small German state. The airy, at times grotesque pieces of the king of waltz, Johann Strauss, inspire the tragicomic story and underline its burlesque elements, as do the modern sounds of Alfred Schnittke and Bernd Alois Zimmermann. | ||

| Opernhaus: Studiobühne, Zürich, Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Wednesday 19-Jun-13 07:00pm Young Choreographers The “Young choreographers” series aims to identify and promote young talent at an early stage: Zurich Ballet’s talented young choreographers will be in the limelight once a season.

These young artists will rehearse their new creations with their dancing colleagues and will also be able to try their hands at stage and costume design. On five evenings, a fascinating variety of choreographic and theatrical ideas will be presented to audiences on the Studio stage, and it is possible that audiences may soon encounter any one of these names on the principal ballet stage. | ||

Taking a coolly analytical view, the author performed autopsies of the human soul, as it were, and as the poet Durs Grünbein put it, “registered the fissures that pass through the individual at an early stage, and certainly not coldly.” From 1836, Georg Büchner lectured in medicine in Zurich, and died here at the age of only 23. Christian Spuck created the full-length narrative ballet Leonce and Lena for the Aalto Ballet Essen in 2008.
The royal children Leonce and Lena have been betrothed without knowing one another. Both decide to escape the wedding. Leonce, who is tormented by boredom, intends to go to Italy with his companion Valerio and live there in indolence; Lena is persuaded to escape by her governess. The two encounter one another en route – and fall in love. Ignorant of one another’s identity, they appear masked at the court of Leonce’s father and are married.
Christian Spuck transforms Büchner’s subtly sarcastic comedy into a high-spirited, fast-paced and imaginative farce of automata, at the same time providing the danced caricature of the small German state. The airy, at times grotesque pieces of the king of waltz, Johann Strauss, inspire the tragicomic story and underline its burlesque elements, as do the modern sounds of Alfred Schnittke and Bernd Alois Zimmermann. | ||

Christian Spuck has long been fascinated by the works of the German playwright Georg Büchner, whose work stands between German Romanticism and the emerging Modern Age.
