Dutch National Ballet will be presenting a season jam-packed with new creations as well as a few classics. The company will be dancing no less than six world premières, which includes the production of Dorian. This full-length ballet is based on the highly-acclaimed novel by Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray. Ernst Meisner & Marco Gerris will be joining forces for a third time to collaborate on this production of Dorian, which will be performed by Dutch National Ballet, the Junior Company and ISH Dance Collective. In addition, audiences will be able to enjoy five other premières that Dutch National Ballet has lined up for this season. For instance, artistic director Ted Brandsen has created a new ballet The Chairman Dances especially for the Celebrate! programme, as has young creative associate Milena Sidorova with her world première Regnum. The new season will also feature world premières in Dawson by David Dawson and in Ballet Bubbles by Wubkje Kuindersma and Joshua Junker, which will be performed by the Junior Company on tour. The Holland Festival will also see Dutch National Ballet perform a tribute programme to honour William Forsythe – a choreographer who has had a huge impact on and helped shape the future of contemporary dance. His work Blake Works 1 will be performed for the first time ever in the Netherlands at this festival. The season will also feature some great classics such as The Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake .Het National Ballet – Amsterdam
