Jugendkompanie
The Jugendkompanie of the Ballet Academy of the Vienna State Opera offers 12 dancers aged between 17 and 20 the opportunity to prepare for professional life each season.
The aim of the Ballet Academy's Direction is to offer artistic and technical development opportunities for young dancers in a safe environment and thus support a successful transition into a professional ballet company.
In addition to classical, contemporary and repertoire training, as well as individual coaching, the focus of the training contract is on preparing for future auditions and gaining stage experience by participating in productions of the Vienna State Ballet, the Vienna State Opera and the Vienna Volksoper.
The dancers also take part in the Jugendkompanie's own productions and the Ballet Academy's annual matinee at the Vienna State Opera.
The Jugendkompanie is a 1- to 2-year program, and admission is by audition only.
