BalletFanCH Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hello fellow ballet fans. My name is Stephan and I from Zürich in Switzerland. I found this forum in general while looking for news on Zürich Ballet in the English speaking world of which there is very little So I thought maybe I can help contribute my views and news myself. I feel that lots has been happening in Zürich the past season (Giselle from Paris Opera, Roberto Bolle Debut, Polina and Friedemann Vogel guesting) and next season with Alex Jones joining from Stuttgart, and Ratmansky reconstructing Swan Lake in Zürich in partnership with La Scala. I see every performance at least once at the Operahouse and try to visit other companies in Europe once a year at least and maybe attend a Gala or two. I am a fan of classical ballets, and loved the Giselle this season. I am a big fan of Roberto Bolle. I hope that I can help with views and news about Zürich Ballet, and look forward to talking to you all in time. Steph Quote Link to comment
Helene Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Welcome, Steph! So few of us here are based in Europe or can travel to see many of the companies -- most of us are lucky when an European company tours to North America -- that we'd love to hear what is happening in Europe.

volcanohunter Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 It's true that we get little news from Zurich, although the company is better represented on DVD than most American companies. I am looking forward to your reports. I'm sure many will be waiting to read about the new Swan Lake with bated breath! Quote Link to comment
BalletFanCH Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Dear Helene and Volcanohunter, thank you both for your welcomes. I hope I can do it justice, we have some fantastic dancers here, and I will be very interested too of the casting for Swan Lake. I hope its one of our star principals that Ratmansky will work with in creating his new piece Quote Link to comment
