Through the appointment of Xin Peng Wang in September 2003 the BALLET DORTMUND has been evolved in a dance company with a distinctive artistic profile. The Westphalian metropolis of Dortmund itself changed from a dance affinity municipality into a hub of artistic dance.
Now the Nussknacker by Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky in the imaginative interpretation of star choreographer Benjamin Millepied was premiered by the BALLET DORTMUND in October 2015. A touring version is available, too.
