Ballet trip to Prague and Dresden September 2019

Prague and Dresden
September 21 - 29, 2019
9 days, 8 nights, 3 performances



Czech National Ballet:
Swan Lake (Cranko)
Kafka: The Trial (Bigonzetti)



Dresden Semperoper Ballet:
Giselle
(Dawson)

David Dawson's rethinking of Giselle is a must-see! The first Tours en l'air group that went to Dresden was absolutely blown away by it, and they were a group who LOVE the traditional Giselle.
Meanwhile, as you might expect, John Cranko's version of Swan Lake is both beautiful and dramatic. The Czech National Ballet is the only company other than the Stuttgart Ballet to perform it.
Add to that two stunningly beautiful cities, and you have the makings of a great ballet trip.


If you are potentially interested in this trip (no commitment required at this point), please email toursenlair@gmail.com.
