This year is no exception. On the contrary. <\/p>\n
We are proud to present a stellar cast that offers both exciting new names and welcome reunions with some of the artists who have become part of Verdensballetten's artistic DNA over the years.<\/p>\n
Ballet stars in your summer country.
<\/strong>
Look forward to a reunion with our artistic director, Steven McRae<\/strong>, who again this year takes the stage with two of Europe's most coveted ballerinas: Anna Rose O'Sullivan<\/strong> from The Royal Ballet in London and the Ukrainian prima ballerina Iana Salenko<\/strong> from Staatsballett Berlin.
Together they will bring the classical repertoire to life with virtuosity and an intensity that is felt far beyond the stage.<\/p>\nAnna Rose O'Sullivan is also joined by charismatic young soloist Harris Beattie<\/strong> from Northern Ballet. Together they dance a pas de deux from An American in Paris - a work by choreographer Christopher Wheeldon that exudes energy, elegance and irresistible charm. <\/p>\nIana Salenko can again this year be seen in beautiful interplay with her husband Kammert\u00e4nzer Marian Walter<\/strong> in a pas de deux by Roland Petit from Tha\u00efs.<\/p>\nHappy reunions - and new stars in the sky.
<\/strong>
Audience favorites Sangeun Lee<\/strong> and Gareth Haw<\/strong> from English National Ballet return after last year's huge success. Their strong chemistry and musical presence make them a couple you don't just see - you feel.
This year they can be seen in an intense modern choreography by master choreographer William Forsythe. <\/p>\nAt the premiere, we present another strong pairing: the graceful Yasmine Naghdi<\/strong>, who is joined by one of Europe's most exciting dancers right now - Nicol Edmonds<\/strong> from The Royal Ballet.
He is visiting Denmark for the first time and we dare to promise a meeting that will cause a stir.<\/p>\nAstrid Elbo in a new role - and a scoop.
<\/strong>
We are tempted to say: No VerdensballETTEN without Astrid Elbo.<\/strong>
But this year she takes a new and exciting step.<\/p>\nFor the first time, she is also choreographing a new work created especially for Verdensballetten - and we are excited to present her in this new role where her creativity is allowed to flourish in new expressions.<\/p>\n
As a special gift, we can already reveal that the Danish star dancer Alban Lendorf<\/strong> will participate in the work - a scoop we are both proud and excited about. He can be seen in August, where he adds his own signature to an already impressive team of artists. <\/p>\nThe August performances also feature a reunion many have been waiting for: Astrid Elbo and English superstar Reece Clarke <\/strong>reunite.
Together they embark on an intense pas de deux by Spanish star choreographer Goyo Montero - a meeting of power, elegance and raw scenic energy.<\/p>\nWho dances when?
<\/strong>This year's tour is divided into 2 parts and the participants are distributed as follows:<\/p>\nFirst part in July -
Steven McRae, Anna Rose O'Sullivan, Yasmine Naghdi, Nicol Edmonds, Harris Beattie, Sangeun Lee and Gareth Haw<\/p>\n
Share part in August -
Steven McRae, Anna Rose O'Sullivan, Iana Salenko, Marian Walter, Reece Clarke, Astrid Elbo and Alban Lendorff<\/p>\n
A world-class program - to be revealed soon.
<\/strong>
With a team of artists like this, the stage is set for a summer where audiences can look forward to the best of the ballet world: classical masterpieces<\/a>, innovative choreography, contemporary expression and a finale that lifts the mood under the sky.<\/p>\nWe can already reveal that there are more surprises in store - including new works created specifically for this year's tour and unique artistic encounters that only happen here, in the Danish summer nature.<\/p>\n
But the full program...
we'll save that for now.<\/p>\n
So keep an eye out here and on our social media channels. Soon we'll reveal exactly what you can experience on stage - and what moments await you this summer. <\/p>\n
We hope to see you soon!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>
