This Christmas, sees Northern Ballet revive their festive classic, A Christmas Carol. Dickens’ timeless classic is peeled from page to stage in a spellbinding blend of dance, music and storytelling. Step into Leeds Grand Theatre and expect to be transported to snowy Victorian England for this beautifully staged production. This show offers the perfect festive escapism.

Audiences will join Ebenezer Scrooge on the experience of a lifetime to discover the true meaning of Christmas. Journey with the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future through family firesides, cold winter nights and the promise of a brighter future.

Directed by Christopher Gable with choreography by Massimo Morricone, Northern Ballet’s A Christmas Carol was a huge success when it was first performed back in 1992. Now, over 30 years later, the production retains all of its magic; its graceful balletic harmony, the inclusion of some of the best-known Christmas carols and Les Brotherton’s versatile design make it the theatrical equivalent of a snow globe, a world sealed and preserved.

Join Ebenezer Scrooge on the experience of a lifetime to discover the true meaning of Christmas.

Expect to be transported to snowy Victorian England for this beautifully staged production.

Inventive and bold, Northern Ballet are one of the UK’s leading ballet companies. Embracing popular culture and taking inspiration from other art forms like literature, opera and the classics, the company are always looking for new ways to tell stories through movement. Blending a strong classical ballet style with contemporary dance and storytelling, we can’t wait to see Northern Ballet bring Dickens’ characters to life once again this Christmas.
