New York City Ballet will dance in Germany for the first time in 30 years next month when it appears at Ludwigshafen’s Theater im Pfalzbau on March 12 and 13.
The company will perform works by George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins, including Divertimento No.15, Tarantella, Symphony in Three Movements and Dances at a Gathering. NYCB will be joined by the Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz, who will play the orchestral music for the Ludwigshafen performances and the subsequent season at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden from March 16–18. This rare visit to Germany by NYCB has been made possible through sponsorship from the locally based chemical company, BASF SE, who have been supporting culture in Germany for more than 90 years. Tickets for the performances can be booked at the websites theater-im-pfalzbau.de or festspielhaus.de.
