The World of John Neumeier
Dance Festival Baden-BadenThe premiere of the dance festival "The World of John Neumeier" in fall 2022 was a crowd puller. With "Sleeping Beauty," a favorite piece in his repertoire, John Neumeier is following it up in 2023. In his version of the fairy tale ballet based on Tchaikovsky and Petipa, the prince, a person of our time, meets Sleeping Beauty - a dream princess from the era of classical ballet. The question remains: is there a good awakening? "Dona Nobis Pacem," John Neumeier's latest choreography, is a prayer for peace in the language of dance. For in "The World of John Neumeier" there is room for the hope that all art lovers share: Dreams can move worlds.

Takeover
The young festivalPassing on the torch of art – this certainly has a good ring to it. And in our case, it is even true: at some point, what we cultivate and permit to grow will be taken over by young people. We’re offering a glimpse of the future today by handing over the Festspielhaus to young people – at the Takeover Festival.
