A touch of summer magic ☀️
We’re marking the first day of summer with one of ballet’s most sparkling celebrations of sunshine and joy.
Golden, radiant and filled with light, the Summer Fairy variation from Frederick Ashton’s Cinderella captures the enchantment of the season in every step.

A stirring mixed programme ✨
So Are We: León and Lightfoot continues on our Main Stage this week, bringing together Shoot the Moon in its 20th anniversary year and Salle de danse, recreated as a world premiere featuring over 45 dancers from across the Company.
The programme marks the first time a British company has performed the work of acclaimed choreographic duo Sol León and Paul Lightfoot, whose uniquely distinctive movement language has captivated audiences around the world.

“You have to put the work in beforehand so that in the moment it doesn’t feel too much like work”
In this episode of Principals and their Preparation, Matthew Ball takes us through the hours leading up to a performance. From yoga and training to quiet moments backstage, every ritual plays a part in preparing for the stage.
For Matthew, preparation isn’t just physical - it’s a mindset. The work happens long before the curtain rises, allowing the focus to shift from technique to performance when the moment finally arrives.
