LADY OF THE CAMELLIAS is Now Playing at the Hamburg Ballet

Lady of the Camellias is now playing at the Hamburg Ballet. Performances run through July 7, 2024.

Neumeier very subtly uses the tragic 19th Century story of the title heroine Marguerite and her lover Armand Duval by reflecting it against the fate of another couple from an earlier century, Manon Lescaut and her lover Des Grieux.
