La Ronde: Vienna State Ballet

About the Event

Against the backdrop of Arthur Schnitzler’'s drama 'La Ronde' (Ein Reigen), the creators of this ballet — choreographer Ashley Page and designer Antony McDonald — evoke the almost explosive creativity which characterised Vienna in the years between 1900 and 1914.

Based on real personalities, this ballet brings both the light and the dark sides of this period to the stage, portraying individual characters and shedding light on the relationships between them. Compositions which arose from this extraordinarily rich artistic period provide the musical basis for the ballet.
