Vienna State Ballet
Thanks to director Manuel Legris, a former Danseur Etoile of the Paris Opera Ballet, the Vienna State Ballet has succeeded in establishing itself as a first-class company on the world stage. Four premieres, one gala and ten repertoire works are on the program at the Vienna State Opera and Volksoper in the 2018/19 season. The hundred or so dancers present their abilities in 80 performances. A total of about 150,000 people are expected to attend.
