Youri Vámos

His choreography focuses on full length ballets that he revises for modern audiences.

In each ballet Vámos is intrigued by the original music and its ability to convey character and emotional nuance to the audience.

His choreography mirrors these characteristics through its idiosyncratic movements that give each dancer a particular role.

[2][3] Vámos created many of these ballets during his thirteen years at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein, where his performances were often applauded for the new life they brought to older stories.

His critical acclaim continued; in 2007 he received the Order of Merit of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
