Ballet NdB 3

ABOUT

The Ballet of the National Theatre Brno is introducing a unique project, another dimension of dance – Ballet NdB 3, a platform for exceptional performers of mature dancing age. The inspiration for this concept was, as with the junior ballet, the approach of world-renowned choreographer Jiří Kylián, who established the philosophy of three dimensions of artistic career at the world-famous Nederlands Dans Theater almost fifty years ago.

Ballet NdB 3 is premiering for EXPO 2025 in collaboration with the Brno Philharmonic and Czech piano virtuoso Ivo Kahánek, presenting Janáček’s opuses “On an Overgrown Path” and “Capriccio for the Left Hand” in original choreographies by Mário Radačovský and Japanese choreographer Megumi Nakamura.

The NdB 3 project brings together charismatic soloists whose careers have been associated with the National Theatres in Prague, Bratislava, and Brno – Nikola Márová, Klaudia Radačovská, Ivona Jeličová, Andrej Szabo, Martin Svobodník, Thoris Magongwa, and Petr Hosa. These artists possess rich experience gained through collaboration with significant choreographers, exceptional charisma, and other qualities that younger dancers are still acquiring. By utilizing their experience, choreographers can create specific works that transcend ordinary repertoire in both their content and interpretation.
