Ballet: APPASSIONATO - BACH UND VIVALDI , Volksoper Vienna , 26 June 2020 - 19:00

Description

The final premiere of the season and Manuel Legris' final premiere as director of the Vienna State Ballet is dedicated to unveiling the work of the company’s young choreographers.

Inspired by the moving life story of Antonio Vivaldi, choreographer Boris Nebyla follows the trail of the legendary “red priest.”

In „Monkey Mind”, Eno Peci fathoms the power of thoughts which lead to finding inner strength.

Martin Winter then confronts the musical symbolism of Vivaldi’s „The Four Seasons”, edited by Max Richter. The individual sections of the music are assigned allegorical characters such as Life, Love and Death.
