Artistic director and choreographer Christian Spuck reveals what defines his version of the classic and gives insights into the costume worlds. Conductor Dominic Limburg discusses Tchaikovsky's score, dramaturg Claus Spahn traces the footsteps of E.T.A. Hoffmann, and dancers report from their daily rehearsals. The talk is moderated by dramaturg Katja Wiegand.
