Ballet: Dancing Schubert in the 21st century

Franz Schubert left an indelible Romantic imprint on the history of music. Born in Vienna in 1798, he was a pupil of Salieri and became one of Beethoven's most fervent admirers. Despite his early death at the age of 31, he produced a body of work numbering over a thousand pieces. String quartets, symphonies, sonatas, fantasias, operas - he explored all forms with the same quest for the absolute. Above all, he brought the art of the lied to perfection, notably with La Belle Meunière, Le Voyage d'hiver and the posthumous Swan Song, three cycles that vividly reveal the themes that obsessed him throughout his life: love, of course, but also hope, disappointment, melancholy, sadness, nature and wandering towards an inaccessible elsewhere.

Set by painter Silvère Jarrosson, the dancers of the OnR Ballet unfold their choreographic universe in a musical dramaturgy based on the figure and work of Schubert, imagined by pianist Bruno Anguera Garcia. Twelve intimate, singular choreographic pieces make up this Schubertian cycle, featuring two young singers from the Opéra Studio.
