The Leipzig Ballet is not only one of the largest, but also one of the most traditional ballet ensembles in Germany and is also important for the city of Leipzig in its internationality. The Verein der Freunde und Förderer des Leipziger Balletts e. V. has actively supported the artistic work of the company since 1995. Not only does the association carry out highly networked lobbying work for the division, but through donations and membership fees the Friends of the Leipzig Ballet are also important enablers of needed purchases.
The association invites all dance lovers and fans of the Leipzig Ballet to join. As a member you will have a unique insight into the work of the company. Rehearsal visits and meetings with the dancers are organised, as well as joint excursions to out-of-town ballet performances and presentations by ballet schools such as the Staatliche Ballettschule Berlin or the Palucca Hochschule für Tanz in Dresden. The highlight of each year is certainly the exclusive season reception to which the members of the association and the company are invited.
The company of the Leipzig Ballet consists of more than 40 dancers from over 20 different nations. Almost every year, new dancers come and dedicate their talent and devotion to the Leipzig Ballet. The association helps them to arrive here in Leipzig and to feel at home. If you are interested in becoming a mentor for our new dancers, please contact the Friends and Supporters of the Leipzig Ballet.
You can also talk to the members of the association during the ballet performances. Simply visit the association's stand in the stalls foyer of the opera house. There you will find background information on the pieces as well as photos, dvds and books about the ballet. The Verein der Freunde und Förderer des Leipziger Balletts e. V. looks forward to your involvement.
