John Neumeier Collection presents four ballets by legendary American choreographer John Neumeier. Featured works include The Little Mermaid (Die kleine Meerjungfrau), Tatiana, Weihnachtsoratorium (Christmas Oratorio) and Nijinsky. "Neumeier´s place in the ballet world is as singular as his interpretation of the tale." (San Francisco Chronicle about The Little Mermaid); "Once again it is impossible not to be impressed by the flawless technique of the ensemble... When at the end Lloyd Riggins tap-dances his way across the stage like Fred Astaire, the Christmas Oratorio is complete" (Süddeutsche Zeitung); "Nearly nobody else besides John Neumeier can tell stories with the bodies of his dancers. Tatiana is three hours of danced poetry." (Hamburger Morgenpost); "Nijinsky - an inexhaustible topic. Where to begin, where to end?" (John Neumeier)
