Northern Ballet Theatre celebrates its 40th anniversary with two programmes that highlight the dramatic, classical and contemporary abilities of this award-winning company.

This Mixed Bill lets you experience the different sides of one of the UK's leading ballet companies. Featuring Gillian Lynne's A Simple Man, which returns by popular demand, plus the dynamic contemporary dance piece Angels in the Architecture, set to Aaron Copland's famous music Appalachian Spring, which looks at the life and beliefs of the Shaker people.

The Mixed Bill is completed by As time goes by, a selection of dances to classic songs, including Always, As time goes by and Sophisticated Swing, performed live by Peter Grant.

Northern Ballet Theatre's classic adaptation of Shakespeare's most famous tragedy, Romeo & Juliet, is both passionate and dramatic; dance theatre at its most intense. With set and costumes designed by the award winning Lez Brotherston, stunning classical dancing and Prokofiev’s moving score, this critically acclaimed production is an unforgettable theatrical experience choreographed by Massimo Moricone.
