With a big\n‘surprise’ Gala with guests from all over the world, John Neumeier was celebrating\nhis career and creativity and his eighty years on the Hamburg Opera scene on 24th<\/sup>\nFebruary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A goal of life lived, as he writes in the notes that introduce the show, in total devotion to the art of dance – which for him is not only creation but also tradition and development, past and above all future. The Gala ‘The\nWorld of John Neumeier’ is a charity new project of the American master, who\nwant to create an independent institute -a study center on the history of dance\n– in which to place his famous collection, to allow scholars and researchers\nfrom all over the world a convenient introduction of the precious material\ncollected by John Neumeier. As we know, in fact, the American artist is the\ngreatest private collector of objects and testimonies related to the great\ndancer Vaslav Nijinsky and the world of Ballest Russes; but not only. Its\nlibrary contains over ten thousand texts on dance and prints, photos, videos\nand artistic objects from the seventeenth century to today are kept in the\nheadquarters of the John Neumeier Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
