Under the motto "Leipzig dances!", the Leipzig Ballet invites you to experience the art form of ballet and dance in all its facets in the summer of 2024. As the central festival of the music city of Leipzig, the international ballet festival will take place from 21 to 29 Jun 2024.
An important partner of the Leipzig Ballet is the Gewandhaus Orchestra, which will also accompany the new choreographies "Giselle" and "Peter I. Tchaikovsky" at the ballet festival. The Akram Khan Company from London and Edward Clug with the ballet of the Slovenian National Theatre Maribor are expected as guests.
The intensive programme of "Leipzig dances!" also represents the dance city of Leipzig in the context of a gala at the opera house, in a cooperation project with Leipzig's club culture and through the mixed-abled FORWARD DANCE COMPANY of LOFFT - DAS THEATER. In addition to offers to join in the dancing, there are insights behind the scenes and opportunities for exchange at every performance.
