Photo Journal: John Neumeier's Ballet Death in Venice at BAM
Choreographer John Neumeier and the Hamburg Ballet have returned to the Brooklyn Academy of Music this week for the first time in more than 20 years — with an inventive take on Thomas Mann's classic novella, Death in Venice.
While Mann conceived his protagonist as a poet, Neumeier re-imagines the aging Gustav von Aschenbach as a successful and honored choreographer totally immersed in his work. Experiencing a professional crisis, he visits Venice, where he is stunned by the beauty and innocence of an adolescent boy named Tadzio. (We offer some photos of the two below.) Fascination turns to obsession as Aschenbach turns from art to life — and death — in Venice.
