These majestic photos show ballerinas rehearsing for the City Ballet’s latest production.
The UK tour will open at Blackpool Grand on July 12th before visiting various venues across the UK.
The company will visit the Theatre Royal Bath (July 24-26), Birmingham Rep (July 29-30), London’s Sadler’s Wells Theatre (September 13-14), York Theatre Royal (November 14-15), and Oxford New Theatre (Nov - on sale soon).
The Company will also present a different programme, Rebirth, at the Royal Opera House’s Linbury Theatre in London from 19-22 November.
Artistic Director Christopher Marney said: “Our international company of dancers has spent the last few weeks creating magic in the studio, working under the guidance of this season’s choreographers. It is uplifting to see these ballets come to life, some for the very first time in decades. These images show a first look into the devotion and commitment the artists deliver daily”.
Momentum delivers a brand-new repertoire showcasing artists rarely seen in the
UK. In keeping with London City Ballet’s ethos of bringing to the stage rarely seen works, the Company will present George Balanchine’s Haieff Divertimento – an early work by the master choreographer originally thought to be lost for 40 years after its premiere and to this day remaining unseen outside the USA.
