attitude – dance-platform. „Jewels“, revisited, Vienna State Ballet (Wiener Staatsballett), February 14th, 2026

Having extensively reported about „Jewels“ exactly two weeks ago, I see no real necessity for repeating my views on the whole work and facts that are also a part of the story (and the ballet’s history, by the way).

There were but three reasons to review a cast, which, nearly in its completeness, was again on stage yesterday evening as it was last January 30th: Two Dancers I had not seen in the parts of, perhaps, the most defining ballet of the whole programme (even if not my favourite one) and a début of a solo role. You may know who I am writing about. But if not, don’t worry, you will soon find out.
