Winners of the 2007 Critics’ Circle National Dance Award for Best Repertoire (Classical), Scottish Ballet continues to garner critical acclaim and captivate audiences with the passion and athleticism of its performances.  

From the city to your doorstep, the Company moves out on tour to get up-close-and-personal with audiences throughout Scotland. Such intimate settings for this powerful repertoire will have you wrapped up in an evening of breathtaking entertainment.

Bringing together sections from five entrancing pieces including multi award-winning choreographer Stephen Petronio’s high octane Ride The Beast, set to the soaring sound of Radiohead; Aria, a delicate and reflective duet from Krzysztof Pastor’s exuberant In Light and Shadow, performed to part of Bach’s famous Goldberg Variations; Othello, a powerful dance drama based on the Shakespeare play and choreographed by Scottish Ballet’s founding director Peter Darrell; as well as premiering a brand new work choreographed by Scottish Ballet Soloist Diana Loosmore, featuring music by the Eastern European influenced ensemble Basquiat Strings.

“Bold, assured, dynamic and utterly watchable.”

“An immaculately structured and heart-stopping drama.”
