Friedemann will perform the role of Chevalier des Grieux in Sir Kenneth MacMillan's Manon with the Finnish National Ballet in Helsinki.The love story of Manon Lescaut and the Chevalier des Grieux is a lyric tragedy of innocence corrupted in the pleasure-seeking world of Paris in the early 18th century.Des Grieux, a victim of Manon's desires, sacrifices everything to follow her to a tragic end.

​​Friedemann will perform with Teatro alla Scala the role of  Jean de Brienne in Raymonda. The production is a reconstruction of the Petipa Version from 1898 which has been revived last year with huge efforts and painstaking research of original notes, drawings and images. It really feels like time-travelling...

His partner will be Olesia Novikova from the Mariinsky Theatre St. Petersburg
