In The Little Mermaid, Hamburg Ballet Director and Chief Choreographer John Neumeir blends dance, dramatic storytelling and spectacle into a stunning interpretation of Hans Christian Andersen's fable. With choreography, sets and costumes all by Neumeier, this ballet - as much theater as it is dance - reveals the depths of the choreographer's imagination. Neumeier elevates a fantasy into a sophisticated portrayal of psychological transformation and the resilience of spirit, human and otherwise. Featuring Yuan Yuan Tan as The Little Mermaid and Tiit Helmets as The Prince. Two discs per unit.
