Ballet: A Streetcar Named Desire - Schedule, Program & Tickets

The introduction of this work is an extremely important dramaturgical success, since the name of John Neumeier appears for the first time in the repertoire of the Czech National Ballet, making it one of the most important ensembles in the world. The production will not only meet audience expectations and call for dramatic work, but will also offer a challenge for the soloists to deeply and tentatively develop their acting skills. Born in Milwaukee, John Neumeier is a world-renowned American choreographer and has been artistic director of the Hamburg Ballet since 1973. Neumeier has created over 160 ballet works and has collaborated with most of the major dance scenes around the world. He is best known as an excellent storyteller.

A Streetcar Named Desire is a profound psychological story set in the southern United States and follows the lives of Stella, her husband Stanley and their sister Blanche. This play has become one of the classics of American drama. John Neumeier was inspired by the story and created the ballet, which premiered in 1983. The premiere of this production at the Estates Theater will continue the dramaturgical line of intimate narrative titles of the world dance theater scene inspired by important literature, masterpieces such as the ballets Kafka: The Trial or Leonce & Lena.
