Ballette von Jerome Robbins
Zu Beginn der neuen Saison feiert das Hamburg Ballett den 100. Geburtstag des amerikanischen Choreografen Jerome Robbins, der insbesondere durch seine Produktionen für den Broadway berühmt wurde. Der zweiteilige Ballettabend „Chopin Dances“ bringt zwei Aspekte von Robbins choreografischer Arbeit auf die Bühne: „Dances at a Gathering“ (gilt als ein Meisterwerk des 20. Jahrhunderts) und „The Concert“, ein komödiantisches Werk.

Zur Person
Jerome Robbins (October
11, 1918 – July 29, 1998) was an American choreographer, director, dancer, and theater producer who worked in classical ballet, on Broadway, and in films and television. Among his numerous stage productions he worked on were On the Town, Peter Pan, High Button Shoes, The King And I, The Pajama Game, Bells Are Ringing, West Side Story, Gypsy, and Fiddler on the Roof; Robbins was a five-time Tony Award-winner and a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors. He received two Academy Awards, including the 1961 Academy Award for Best Director with Robert Wise for West Side Story.

In 1961, Robbins directed, with Robert Wise, the movie version of West Side Story. He was fired from the production as soon as principal photography was complete. However, when the film received 10 Academy Awards, Robbins won two, one for his Direction and one for "Brilliant Achievements in the Art of Choreography on Film."

Jerome Robbins Award
In 1995, Jerome Robbins instructed the directors of his foundation to establish a prize for "some really greatly outstanding person or art institution. The prizes should "lean toward the arts of dance ..." The first two Jerome Robbins Awards were bestowed in 2003, to New York City Ballet and to lighting designer Jennifer Tipton
