Classical Ballet Sehnsucht, Schmetterling
World famous Bolshoi Ballet and Opera theatre (established 1776) - Marvellous Main (Historic) Stage


Schedule for Sehnsucht, Schmetterling 2022

Composer: Ludwig Van Beethoven
Choreography: Sol Leon
Choreography: Paul Lightfoot
Ballet company: Nederlands Dans theater

Orchestra: Bolshoi Theatre Symphony Orchestra

Sehnsucht, which cannot be translated but means as much as homesickness or ‘strong desire’, starts in a revolving lounge with a charming, magical duet that keeps surprising. The touching music makes you feel melancholic. Eventually, Beethoven’s music erupts, culminating in a bombastic group dance on the stage.

After performances in New York, St Petersburg and London, the acclaimed double bill Sehnsucht (2009) Schmetterling (2010) returns to The Netherlands. For the first piece, creators Sol Leon and Paul Lightfoot were inspired by the German word Sehnsucht, ‘yearning’, as well as the bombastic music of Beethoven. Schmetterling means butterfly and refers to the transience of existence. All possible love stories echo through various duets and trios, set to the music of indie rock band Magnetic Fields and composer Max Richter.
