I shall be interested to see how Ondine sells. After all, it's a much less well-known title than most of NB's works. And it has a "difficult" score. It'll also be interesting to see how the changed scenario is fitted to what, after all, is quite a restrictive score.

Alison - it's only being shown at WYP, which is a very different performance space for Northern Ballet. As well as NB fans, their performances usually attract WYP play-goers too. It's a wonderful venue and we love going there.
