Hamburg Ballet: Third Symphony of Gustav Mahler

 

 

Since its premiere in June 1975, Third Symphony of Gustav Mahler has become one of John Neumeier’s most important and defining works. Inspired by his great love of Mahler’s music, Neumeier created a timeless ballet to express all the emotions and feelings that the Third Symphony’s score evokes in its listeners.

 

“I have translated the feelings experienced and images suggested while hearing his Third Symphony into movement, into pure dance situations, and into human relationships,” said Neumeier, who also designed the costumes and lighting concept for the ballet. 

 

This masterpiece of classical ballet is guaranteed to leave audiences visually, musically, and emotionally fulfilled.
