There are some rather tempting programmes eg Raymonda (December), Giselle (october;), 2 Ratmansky ballets to Stravinsky: The Fairy's Kiss, The Firebird (June), a Dutch triple: ballets by Kylian, Van Manen, David Dawson , Milena Sidorova (April); the (full length) Frida (February).

There's less Balanchine than DNB sometimes offers, but the amazingly modern Four Temperaments is in a quadruple bill that includes ballets by Van Manen and Brandsen.

 

Does anyone know how easily it is to pick up tickets to the DNB at short notice? I am quite keen to see specific dancers in specific roles but I think they are another company that only announces the cast two weeks before (we don't give the Royal Ballet enough credit for planning this out well in advance!)

There is a resale site you can try. I used it to sell some tickets recently myself.

Ernst Meisner, former Royal Ballet dancer and now Artistic Co-ordinator of the Dutch National Ballet Junior Company and Director of the Dutch National Ballet Academy has just choreographed his third full-length ballet for DNB, along with his hip-hop collaborator, Marco Gerris, which opens in Amsterdam on Thursday, 11 May.  I believe that Anna Tsygankova has a major role in the ballet.

 

There is an interesting introduction here

And the young tall dancer with dark hair partnering Anna Tsygankova is playing the title role.  He is Giorgi Potskhishvili
