Mozart / Rachmaninow

In the organizer's words:

Two ballets by Uwe Scholz | Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Sergei Rachmaninov

from 14 years

With "Mozart / Rachmaninov", the Leipzig Ballet honors Uwe Scholz, whose choreographic work shapes the city like a silent echo. His art is shaped music, a language of light, space and movement that captures the ephemeral and at the same time traces the eternal.

In "Jeunehomme", Mozart's piano concerto finds a counterpart in movement for the nuances of joy and melancholy typical of the great composer's works. Every movement becomes an echo of an inner world. Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3 is a choreographic masterpiece that pours sound into space and is deeply moving in its emotional impact.

Following the "Scholz Symphonies", which commemorated the choreographer's work in the 2024 / 25 season, this evening is another homage. Uwe Scholz's art lives on - from body to body, from dancer to dancer, in a constant interplay of memory and the present. This evening is not a retrospective, but a celebration of the living, which resounds through the ages with all its beauty and clarity.
