Behind the Scenes of Ballet am Rhein
This ballet house tour opens the doors to a place where daily precision, discipline, and artistic energy meet. On Saturday, March 13, 2027, the Deutsche Oper am Rhein will guide visitors through the modern ballet house in Düsseldorf-Bilk starting at 10:30 a.m. and showcase the world of the company up close.
A Look into the Workshop of Dance
Entering the ballet house is not just entering an ordinary building, but a lively workspace of ballet. The tour provides insights into the ballet rehearsal studios, the pointe shoe storage, the costume fitting room, as well as training, rehabilitation, and relaxation rooms, changing areas, and lounges. This combination of function and art makes the stage experience palpable even before the actual curtain falls.
Architecture, Atmosphere, and Movement Space
The ballet house is designed as a modern, barrier-free training center and encompasses about 3,000 square meters of usable space. Five well-equipped studios, a rehabilitation and therapy area, and rooms for educational formats show how closely artistic production, physical work, and everyday life are intertwined in contemporary dance. Depending on the daily and training schedule, there can also be a brief insight into a rehearsal or training session.
A Theatre Experience for the Curious Aged 12 and Up
The tour lasts about one hour and is conducted in German. It is aimed at visitors aged 12 and up, offering a rare perspective on the processes behind a renowned ballet company. Audience reactions here are often characterized by awe even before the actual performance: about the concentration in the room, the proximity to the dancers, and the quiet tension of a place where every movement counts.
