Jan McNulty Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Northern Ballet announces major spring tour of new children’s ballet Northern Ballet has announced that its new ballet for children, Goldilocks & the Three Bears, will embark on anextensive national tour throughout spring 2017.

Goldilocks & the Three Bears is a reimagining of the classic children’s story, telling the tale of a mischievous little girl whose curiosity leads her to a house full of many surprises. Lasting approximately 40 minutes, the ballet has been created especially for children and young families to experience live dance, music and theatre. Goldilocks & the Three Bears is the latest in the Company’s award-winning series of Short Ballets for Small People, following on from the hugely successful Ugly Duckling, Three Little Pigs, Elves & the Shoemaker and Tortoise & the Hare, all of which have been adapted by CBeebies. Goldilocks & the Three Bears is choreographed by Northern Ballet Junior Soloist Nicola Gervasi, and includes set designs by Jane Cecchi, lighting by Alastair West, costume designs by Kim Brassley and Carley Marsh and music composed by John Longstaff, which will be performed live at every venue by members of Northern Ballet Sinfonia. Daniel de Andrade, Northern Ballet’s Artistic Director of Short Ballets for Small People, said: ‘I am thrilled at how extensively we are touring Goldilocks & the Three Bears and we look forward to giving even more audiences the chance to experience this truly magical production. Our children’s ballets offer a unique opportunity toexperience live dance and music for the first time through performances designed specifically with young children in mind.’ For venues, dates and details on how to book, please visit northernballet.com/goldilocks -ENDS- Notes to Editors For more details of Northern Ballet's tour, on sale dates and booking information, please visit northernballet.com/whatson.
