Vienna State Ballet

The virtuoso Vienna State Ballet dances at the Vienna State Opera and the Volksoper. Among the highlights of the 2016/17 season is "Cendrillon (Cinderella)".

Thanks to director Manuel Legris, a former Danseur Etoile of the Paris Opera Ballet, the Vienna State Ballet has succeeded in establishing itself internationally as a first-class company. Five premieres and ten repertoire works are on the program at the Vienna State Opera and Volksoper in the 2016/17 season.

Highlights at the Vienna State Opera

The ballet evening Balanchine | Liang | Proietto celebrates its premiere on 1 November 2016.
Choreographies by John Neumeier to music by Nikolai Tcherepnin and Igor Stravinsky will be shown for the first time in Le Pavillon d'Armide | Le Sacre on 19 February 2017.
For the season finale, the annual Nureyev Gala presents highlights from the international world of ballet on 29 June 2017.
Seven programs from the repertoire will also be danced, including the full-length narrative ballets La Fille Mal Gardée, Onegin and Swan Lake.

Highlights at the Volksoper

A major dance premiere is Cendrillon on 13 November 2016. In this adaptation, the Cinderella story transforms into the difficult journey of a dance star to the peak of her profession.
Three young choreographers from the company reinterpret classics of the Ballets Russes. The Firebird | Petrushka | Movements to Stravinsky opens at the Volksoper on 28 April 2017.
The repertoire includes the ballets The Snow Queen, Carmina Burana and Giselle Rouge.
