What is “We call it Ballet”?
It’s no secret that ballet is celebrated globally. Since the 15th century, this performance dance has continued to grow in popularity with the UK being home to The Royal Ballet, one of the most prestigious ballet companies in the world. We call it Ballet is a show honouring its influence and reach but with an innovative approach and a condensed show. The costumes of professional dancers are fitted with shining LED lights to heighten the classical ballet production.
Ballet, its storytelling and the show
As well as emphasising ballet’s lyrical steps and complexity with whimsical lights, the captivating show has a story to tell—the story of The Sleeping Beauty. Thanks to the narrator, the colour of the lights adapting to various moods, and Tchaikovsky’s breathtaking music, one of the most treasured fairy tales of all time is told in an accessible and imaginative way. Feel for Princess Aurora, despise the malevolent curse, and rejoice in the eventual happily ever after.
The 60-minute performance has all the balletic beauty you can imagine, with the added magic of glittering lights. What are you waiting for? Choose from the different dates available over the coming months. Doors open 30 minutes before the start of the performance.
