Ballet FESTIVAL WEEK 2026
28.3. – 4.4.2026
The Ballet Festival Week will open on 28 March 2026 with the Common Ground triple bill. Alexander Ekman and Johan Inger’s choreographies can be enjoyed here for the first time at the Bayerisches Staatsballett. In addition, Jiří Kylián's ballet Bella Figura, which was last performed as part of the Wings of Memory evening in the 2024/25 season, will be revived.
Three performances will now follow on 30 and 31 March and 2 April, which bear testament to the important presence of classical narrative ballets in the Bayerisches Staatsballett’s repertoire: John Cranko’s Onegin (1965), Pierre Lacotte’s La Sylphide (1972) and John Neumeier’s Illusionen – wie Schwanensee (1976). On 1 and 4 April the choreographic signatures of William Forsythe, Emma Portner and Maurice Béjart can then be enjoyed in the Waves and Circles triple bill.
