Ursula Cain

There she dances soloist-roles in choreographies by Veith Büchel and gets to know the former conductor of orchestra and first music director of the Oper Leipzig, Helmut Seydelmann.

She danced in numerous choreographies from Gertrud Steinweg, Lilo Gruber, Werner Ulbrich, Tom Schilling and Emmy Köhler-Richter.

In October 1960, Ursula Cain danced in the festive program for the opening of the new Operahouse in Leipzig, which was broadcast on TV on the channel Deutscher Fernsehfunk of the former GDR.

[3] Her Pas de deux with Horst Dittmann to the slow movement from the 5th symphony of Gustav Mahler, which is seen in the documentary film, too, is one of the highlights in the dance-theater of generations staged by Heike Hennig.

The former artist director Udo Zimmermann congratulated the "dream-ballerina" ("Traum-Ballerina") to her 60th birthday: Maybe it was due to this combination of Wigman and Gsovsky, connected to the place Leipzig, where those two important figures worked together, which realized the lucky chance, that you became the embodiment of the classical lyrical ballerina.
