This autumn/winter, we’re reviving Akram Khan’s Giselle in Manchester and Bristol, Wayne Eagling’s Nutcracker in Southampton and London, and Mary Skeaping’s Giselle in London. Later in the season, we bring back Derek Deane’s spectacular Swan Lake in-the-round at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
Scroll down for casting for each performance – including many exciting debuts, marked with a *.
Laurretta Summerscales, former Principal dancer with English National Ballet, and currently Principal with Bavarian State Ballet in Munich, joins us as a Guest Artist for performances of Nutcracker and Swan Lake in-the-round.
