London City Ballet

Tue Oct 27 - Sun Nov 1

The award-winning London City Ballet, former resident company of Sadler’s Wells, returns after its successful revival tour in 2024 with two mixed programs of enticing new ballets and cherished legacy works. Former director of Hamburg Ballet for over five decades, John Neumeier, presents his recent work, Ghost Light, offering a glimpse at the spirits of artists who once inhabited our stages, with world-renowned ballerina Alina Cojocaru guest-starring. In this centenary year of American choreographer Glen Tetley, the company pays homage by reviving his gothic retelling of Firebird, and, for the first time since 1991, reintroduces Jerome Robbins's Quiet City to the New York stage. Other highlights include enticing new ballets by Ashley Page, Florent Melac, and Tasha Chu.
