Julian MacKay and the Bayerisches Staatsballett are parting ways with immediate effect. The Principal Dancer is leaving the Munich company today, 13 July 2026, as he was personally informed this morning by the theatre’s management. We would like to thank Mr. MacKay for the past four seasons and wish him all the best for the future.

For legal reasons, the company is unable to comment on the reasons for the termination of the contract at short notice.
