Biography
Giulia Tonelli is an Italian ballerina and first soloist with Ballet Zurich.
Place of Birth: Italy
Known For
Winterreise
Franz Schubert's "Winterreise" is considered the pinnacle of German art song. Hans Zender (1936 - 2019) arranged the cycle in 1993, and his version for tenor and small orchestra brings to light emotions that pulsate beneath the surface in Schubert. Similar to Hans Zender, the choreographer Christian Spuck is also concerned with a journey into the interior of the human being.
Becoming Giulia
Giulia Tonelli, principal dancer at the Zurich Opera House, returns from maternity leave. She has to fight to find her place and a new balance, between the competitive and extremely demanding world of an elite ballet company and her new family life.
The Nutcracker and the Mouse King
Can the Prince dance on a skateboard in a classical ballet? And how! And children and their parents will be delighted to watch on the big screen this completely unusual version of the famous "Nutcracker" to the fairy-tale music of Tchaikovsky, prepared by the outstanding German choreographer Christian Spuck, whose colorful and subversive interpretation of "Sleeping Beauty" we recently saw in cinemas.
