Imagine this ...
You're somehow invisible, able to drift from your theatre seat to the side of the stage, where voices are hushed, the lights shine like luminous moons and the air hums with the electricity of performance. Your eye homes in on detail - the roses in a queen's hands, the beads of sweat on a dancer's throat. Just a few feet away from the stage, you feel with new depth the soloists' anguish and passion, and appreciate afresh the discipline of the corps de ballet. It's from the wings that each of our dancers takes flight. Join us for a unique perspective on the company's performances.
