Ballet Nights - Casting Update/Announcement 1 of 3

[Jamiel Devernay-Laurence]

🚨 Ballet Nights Autumn Season 2023 Programming Update 🚨 

 

As Many of you may already be aware that earlier last week, Principal of the Royal Ballet and Ballet Nights headliner, Steven McRae, received a serious injury on stage, and as a result will no longer be able to perform in the Ballet Nights Autumn Season 2023.

 

🙏 Our best wishes are with Steven at this time, and we cannot wait to welcome him back to Ballet Nights again one day soon, as he is a big part of our future.

 

As a result, we are thrilled to announce a brand new addition to our October programme:

Excerpts from Elite Syncopations
“Stoptime Rag” & “Bethena Rag Waltz”
Performed by Constance Devernay-Laurence & Ryoichi Hirano
Choreographer Kenneth Macmillan
Composer Scott Joplin
Costume Ian Spurling
With thanks to the Macmillan Trust, and The Royal Ballet Company

 

After working closely with Artistic Director of The Royal Ballet, Kevin O'Hare, and the MacMillan estate, we would like to thank their teams for helping us put together a new headliner at such short notice, and we hope you will enjoy this welcome addition to our Autumn Season 2023.

Ooh this IS exciting.  William Forsythe’ ‘In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated’ is a big draw for me.  And not often seen.
