Sadler’s Wells is delighted to be hosting the world premiere season of Christopher Wheeldon’s brand new ballet company, Morphoses, featuring Guest Artists from The Royal Ballet, New York City Ballet and San Francisco Ballet.

Wheeldon is one of the world’s most respected choreographers. After six years as resident choreographer for New York City Ballet, and most recently creating last year’s acclaimed DGV for The Royal Ballet, he has set up his own Company – with the aim to create adventurous and dynamic dance.

Billed as ‘the first transatlantic ballet’, the company will have a base at both Sadler’s Wells and New York City Center.

This first outing for Morphoses features works by George Balanchine, William Forsythe, Edwaard Liang and Christopher Wheeldon himself - who presents several existing works alongside two world premieres commissioned by Sadler's Wells.

Guest Artists include Alexandra Ansanelli, Alina Cojocaru and Johan Kobborg from The Royal Ballet, Angel Corella from American Ballet Theatre, Gonzalo Garcia from San Francisco Ballet,  Wendy Whelan and Maria Kowroski both from New York City Ballet, Tyler Angle, Aesha Ash, Craig Hall, Sterling Hyltin, Edwaard Liang, Teresa Reichlen, Adrian Danchig-Waring, Pauline Golbin, Amanda Hankes, Ashley Laracey, David Prottas, Carrie Lee Riggins, Christian Tworzyanski.
