Seoul Metropolitan Ballet stages Hans van Manen tribute in November

To mark the first anniversary of Dutch choreographer Hans van Manen's death, the Seoul Metropolitan Ballet is staging three of his works at Sejong M Theater from Nov. 19 to 22. The pieces date from 1971 to 1995, and "Grosse Fuge" gets its Korean premiere. Kang Hyo-jung of Semperoper Ballet and Choi Young-gyu of Dutch National Ballet appear as guests, joined by two dancers picked at an August global audition.

Why it matters The program closes the company's 2026 season, and the company first staged a van Manen work in October 2024, shortly after it was founded.
