Livestream

Directing and post-production of Ballet Livestreams

Indeed, the recording of ballet performances demands a deep understanding to uphold the professional standards of dance art during the filming process. Drawing on my experience as a former soloist at the Wiener Staatsoper, I have overseen the video editing not only of my personal work but also of the material recorded by ORF, ensuring that the integrity of the performances is impeccably portrayed.
