Illusionen - wie Schwanensee
Experience a unique ballet production, Illusionen - wie Schwanensee, created by choreographer John Neumeier. This performance is inspired by the life and struggles of King Ludwig II, intertwining his biography with themes from Swan Lake. The ballet features a meticulously reconstructed second act based on Lew Ivanow's version, along with the iconic 'Black Swan Pas de deux'.
In this captivating interpretation, King Ludwig escapes into the theatrical reality of a Swan Lake performance, yearning for liberation from his existential torment. The uncompleted walls of Herrenchiemsee Castle symbolize his insatiable longing for perfection, simultaneously serving as his prison. The breathtaking finale poignantly captures the tragically unfulfilled nature of human love and desire.
Join us for this extraordinary evening with the Bayerisches Staatsballett and the Bayerisches Staatsorchester.
