Ballet: Different Grounds - Schedule, Program & Tickets

Three-part ballet evening

What language unites all the countries of the world? Dance exists all over the world, but even this language is not "spoken" with the same accent everywhere. The ballet evening Different Grounds brings innovative dance styles from three continents to the Semperoper stage in three world premieres. Stephanie Lake, who has been Artist in Residence at the Semperoper Ballett since the 2025/26 season and whose successful piece Colossus was first performed in Dresden in November 2025, is creating her first work especially for the ensemble. Lake, one of Australia's best-known contemporary choreographers, comes from the independent Australian dance scene, leads her own company and is also resident choreographer of her country's largest dance ensemble, the Australian Ballet. In her work with dancers from diverse backgrounds, Lake has created a variety of dynamic and often humorous works in which the impulses and idiosyncrasies of the dancers are always particularly honored.
