Cathy Marston new Ballet Director
Neue Ballettdirektorin ab 2023/24
Renowned choreographer Cathy Marston will take over as new Ballet Director and Chief Choreographer of the Ballett Zürich. For an initial period of two years, this British-born, Swiss-bred artist will succeed Christian Spuck for the 2023/24 season, after he takes over artistic directorship of the Staatsballett Berlin. Spuck has successfully led the Ballett Zürich since 2012, and his switch to Berlin with the 2023/24 season will see him leading Germany’s largest independent ballet company.
Christian Spuck new Artistic Director of Staatsballett Berlin from 23/24
«There are always times in life when we are confronted with change and new challenges. I have always tried to face such moments openly and with gratitude. The decision to end my contract with Ballett Zürich two years early and take over the direction of Staatsballett Berlin was not an easy one. Ballett Zürich and its wonderful dancers have been the core and center of my life for nearly ten years. Our time together has given me so much, both personally and artistically, and I am deeply grateful for all the support and opportunities I have had at Opernhaus Zürich. For now, I am looking forward to my remaining time here in Zurich, and to two more exciting seasons with Ballett Zürich!»
