SwissBalletFan Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Here is the booklet announcing the next Season. https://issuu.com/opernhauszuerich/docs/saisonbuch_16-17?e=1450767/34520812 Anna Karenina (Spuck) is back, Another chance to see Swan Lake Premieres New Creation by Christian Spuck Messa de Requiem based upon Verdi's work. New pieces by Douglas Lee and Filipe Portugal Quintet by Forsythe Kammerballett by Hans Van Manen New Piece by Jacapo Gadani This maybe interesting for many modern followers...I will be frequenting Munich for more classical works (outside of Swan Lake and Anna Karenina, ) I will watch everything once, but I fear it may not inspire me...missing classical repertoire or at least a Balanchine or two.

MAB Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Many, many thanks for posting this. Bartoli & Jaroussky in Alcina! I'm drooling at the thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angela Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 SwissBalletFan, you forgot a new Stravinsky evening with two creations: Petruschka by Marco Goecke and Sacre by Edward Clug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissBalletFan Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) SwissBalletFan, you forgot a new Stravinsky evening with two creations: Petruschka by Marco Goecke and Sacre by Edward Clug Thank you Angela, indeed I did. Though, I love Clug's sense of style and his classy choreographies, there is nothing that could make me watch a piece (new or otherwise) of Goecke's arm twitching ballets.

Angela Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Well, I think it will be the most interesting evening of the Zurich season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissBalletFan Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Well, I think it will be the most interesting evening of the Zurich season! OK in which respect? You are a big fan of Goecke/Clug? Or you think the program is not very interesting in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angela Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I love Goecke's works, and Clug also. Maybe you should try again? The "twitching" is in fact very interesting - and very musical. It may take some time, but I've seen people get addicted to Goecke who until then thought ballet must be Swan Lake or Balanchine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take your point, and will certainly watch it with an Open mind. I do see more in Ballet than Swan Lake or Balanchine, but I am a fan of balanced repertoire with some pieces that introduce new ideas, however I think at least 2 pieces of classical should be included for pure pleasure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Well, Quintett would certainly get me there if I lived anywhere within commuting distance ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
