Ballet Dancers as Linz09’s Goodwill Ambassadors in Dortmund
Lorenzaccio
Copyright: scene: österreich in NRW
At the “scene: österreich in NRW” (Austria in North Rhine-Westphalia) festival, the ballet company of the Landestheater Linz will showcase the future capital of culture in Dortmund on May 18.
A performance of Jochen Ulrich’s ballet “Lorenzaccio,” which will attract a bevy of VIPs from the worlds of politics and culture in the major metropolis of Germany’s Ruhr District, is a great opportunity to play up Linz09. And, after all, the European Capital of Culture is a subject of no small importance to that region too: as Linz’s successors, 53 Ruhr District communities will be sharing the title in 2010.
