The Hamburg Ballet – John Neumeier is one of the world’s top companies, merging classical technique with modern storytelling since 1973 – poetic, precise, and unique.

The Hamburg Ballet – John Neumeier is one of the world’s most acclaimed ballet companies. Founded in 1973 by American choreographer John Neumeier, the ensemble quickly gained international recognition for its artistic brilliance and unique fusion of classical ballet with contemporary storytelling.

At the heart of Neumeier’s work lies the combination of classical tradition with modern, expressive forms. His distinctive choreographic voice has produced moving works that merge literature, music, and movement – including “The Lady of the Camellias”, “Romeo and Juliet”, and “The Nutcracker”.

The company has given over 1,000 guest performances across five continents, underlining its global impact. Performances at the Hamburg State Opera are cultural highlights for both ballet aficionados and newcomers alike.

Equally significant is the Hamburg Ballet School, founded by John Neumeier in 1978 and today among Europe’s top ballet training institutions. Located in the Ballet Centre Hamburg – John Neumeier in the Hamm district, it unites the company and its aspiring dancers under one roof. Students aged 10 to 18 receive training that’s closely connected to stage experience, including participation in company performances – a unique path into the world of professional dance.
