Gently Quiet is a brand-new choreography by the Dutch National Ballet, filmed in the quiet streets of Amsterdam during the coronavirus pandemic, when would-be passers-by were safe at home. It’s not every day a world premiere can be viewed from the comfort of home by anyone, anywhere.
Choreographed by Peter Leung and filmed by Altin Kaftira, Gently Quiet is a series of 11 short videos of dancers at quiet locations in Amsterdam. This video is a compilation of all 11 dances. Each of the dances will be released in separate videos one-by-one over the coming weeks.
During the coronavirus pandemic, the Dutch National Opera and Ballet released Keep on Singing and Dancing, a set of online activities, videos, games, quizzes, challenges and documentaries for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in ballet and opera during the days of social distancing.
