Reaction from King Willem-Alexander, Queen Máxima, and Princess Beatrix on the passing of Hans van Manen

“The master shows himself not in excess but in control. With warmth and respect, we commemorate choreographer Hans van Manen. Playful, light, and clear, he made us experience perfection in his virtuosic ballets. The Netherlands loses one of its greatest artists. We remember him with love, admiration, and gratitude and will miss him dearly.”
