The Chemnitz Ballet consists of an ensemble of 24 dancers (12 women, 12 men). A strong theme in its repertoire is narrative ballets by authors such as Shakespeare (“A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, “Romeo and Juliet”), which it performs on the stage of the Opera House. International choreographers also present their work, staging contemporary works in the ballet studio at the Opera House, which is otherwise used for training and rehearsals. The Chemnitz Ballet also works across the disciplines, performing in stagings of operas and plays. International dance companies, in particular from Chemnitz’s partner cities, feature at the TANZ ǀ MODERNE ǀ TANZ festival of contemporary dance, which is hosted by the Chemnitz Ballet every year.
