As always, it is an immense pleasure for Friedemann to dance in Japan, and to share the stage with other esteemed ballet stars in the triennial World Ballet Festival from 31 July to 12 August. Participating in this highly anticipated event in Tokyo for the eighth time, Friedemann will be performing two pas de deux from John Neumeier's "The Lady of the Camellias" and Kenneth MacMillan's "Mayerling" with his fellow Stuttgart Ballet principal dancer Elisa Badenes.
