Jolanthe is blind, but she knows nothing of her condition. At the command of her father, King René, her secret must never be revealed. When knight Vaudémont eventually approaches Jolanthe, a path out of her isolation opens up for her. Jolanthe is Tchaikovsky's last opera and at the same time his most intimate. Full of delicate poetry, this rarely performed masterpiece explores the light and dark sides of the protagonists' inner lives.

The choreographer Francesco Nappa seeks and develops a translation into our world for his adaptation of Igor Stravinsky's The Firebird, which premiered in 1910. The act of reclaiming self-determination is choreographically interpreted as a departure into life, into light and hope. For the first time, the i Move Collective will be included in individual scenes of this world premiere in a choreography for and with the Ballet Hagen.
