Hans van Manen may be 85 this summer, but his international fame is still rising. In recent years, both the Mariinsky Ballet and the Bolshoi Ballet have taken his ballets into their repertoire, and the Ballet de l’Opéra National de Paris is also performing his work. Dutch National Ballet is therefore very proud to have Van Manen as one of their resident choreographers and is treating you to four masterly creations in Ode to the master.
