We’re back under the spotlight, and treating you to a landmark celebration of ballet as we enter the next chapter of our artistic history.
The beauty and versatility of our dancers will shine in a selection of excerpts from ballet’s most celebrated classics, our latest contemporary works and our signature repertoire. We’re honouring our history, embracing our future and revelling in the pure joy of dance.
This grand celebration is our gift to the ballet lovers who supported us in every possible way during our time offstage.
We dance for you.
David's insight …
“In my first program as Artistic Director, I am showcasing the talent of the entire company. With fresh inspiration, the dancers step back on the stage in repertoire that exemplifies their versatility as both technicians and artists. These modern and classical ballets are their lifeblood and exactly why they live for the stage and the expression of performance.”
We encourage you to read this important information regarding the mandatory wearing of masks and social distancing measures in place for this COVID-safe event. Please note, a maximum of six tickets can be booked to sit together as a group.
