GUEST PERFORMANCE - LUCIA LACARRA BALLET: LOST LETTERS

Choreography Matthew Golding. Music Sergej Rachmaninow, Max Richter.

Van Cleef & Arpels

As part of the Ballet Festival Week 2025, the Lucia Lacarra Ballet ensemble will present the production Lost Letters. The ballet evening revolves around the theme of lost connections and invites the audience to reflect on the power of communication. The musical programme includes recordings of orchestral music by Max Richter and Sergei Rachmaninov. Lucia Lacarra is a former first soloist of the Bayerisches Staatsballett and returns with this guest performance to her former home stage. Together with Matthew Golding, she created the two Max Award-winning performances Fordlandia (2020) and In The Still Of The Night (2021) before her newest creation: Lost Letters.

Lost Letters tells a moving and haunting story from the time of the First World War. Handwritten letters sent from the front and the replies from those at home are still to this day an essential link between soldiers and their social environment in wartime situations. – Lost Letters is based on a real letter that the gunner Frank Bracey wrote to his wife “Win” during the First World War. The ballet production poses the question of what would have happened to this woman if she had never received a letter from her beloved husband.
