The Semperoper Ballett has announced the resumption of its series of gala events »Semper Essenz: We will dance!«, beginning with the performance on Friday, 25 September 2020.
Aaron S. Watkin, director of Semperoper Ballett: »After having to postpone our premiere of »Semper Essenz: We will dance!«, we are now back and excited to present our premiere this Friday, September 25th, on the stage of our wonderful opera house and together with our world-famous orchestra, the Staatskapelle Dresden. Come experience the unique personality and beauty of the Semperoper Ballett in this powerful, diverse programme.«
Due to a case of the coronavirus in the company, the first two performances of the ballet gala series »Semper Essenz: We will dance!« were cancelled. After consultation with the local health authority, the Semperoper Ballett is now resuming rehearsals and performances while complying with the applicable pandemic-related hygiene measures. An adapted version of the returning production of »The Nutcracker« is already included in the replacement programme for November/December 2020.
