Details

Allegri diversi, by Company Director David Bintley, gives life to Rossini's light and playful score with effortless elegance. Grosse Fuge, by Hans van Manen, sees delicate interplay between groups of men and women to the music of Beethoven. Finally Harry Stewart's The Centre and its Opposite sees dancers directly competing for the attention of theaudience, in a stylish and dynamic piece fusing classical ballet with hard-edged contemporary dance. Set to a rhythmically powerful electronic soundscape, this piece wowed audiences on the Southern leg of this tour last year. Be sure to secure your tickets and see it for yourself.
