To kickstart our 50th anniversary year, Scottish Ballet presents a fresh double bill fizzing with energy and guaranteed to send you home smiling. Read more …
Artist in Residence, choreographer Sophie Laplane will premiere her latest work, Dextera. Her trademark edgy style promises a tour de force of creative ideas, set to the music of Mozart, performed live by the Scottish Ballet Orchestra.
Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s Elite Syncopations is an irresistible carnival of colourful characters. This much-loved whirl of 1920s dancehall glitz is set to a series of Scott Joplin’s tunes, performed live by an onstage ragtime band.
Some people like their dance edgy and interesting, others simply want to be entertained. Meeting the needs of both those audiences with one work is a challenge for any choreographer, but one which Sophie Laplane – a woman in the infancy of her career – rose to like a giant.
A stunning double bill delights Highlands audience!
Infectious double-bill of works in celebration of Scottish Ballet's anniversary year.
The world premiere of Sophie Laplane’s Dextera and a welcome revival of Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s Elite Syncopations (1974) underline the company’s commitment to contemporary and modern work.
Scottish Ballet, our national dance company, celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Given the breadth of its programming, it is fitting that it should begin its celebrations, not with a classical ballet, but with Spring!, a double bill of defiantly unorthodox choreographies.
Scottish Ballet’s Spring proves that they stand on a world stage of ballet. We knew this. What they prove is their innovation. Their ability to sustain freshness, all the while providing an exceptional production is what sets them apart.
