The 2011/12 season sees the Semperoper Ballett make use of various venues throughout Dresden as additional platforms for the exploration of contemporary experimental dance. In particular, the company dancers will be offered the possibility of furthering their individual artistic development by combining dance with other elements of the performing arts.

There will be two programme rehearsals at 12 a.m. and 3 p.m. Free entrance.
