Celebrating New Futures in Dance

BALLET NIGHTS 012

On our third birthday, Ballet Nights returns to Cadogan Hall to celebrate three years of championing artists, commissioning new work, and bringing audiences closer to the extraordinary world of dance.

This milestone edition unites World Ballet Stars Yasmine Naghdi and Reece Clarke of The Royal Ballet & Opera with Lead Principals Sangeun Lee and Gareth Haw of English National Ballet, alongside the UK debut of Cape Town City Ballet, the first South African company to appear on a Ballet Nights stage, as welll as, rising star Harris Bell of The Royal Ballet & Opera.

Contemporary dance takes centre stage with a genre-defying performance from UK powerhouse, James Wilton Dance, alongside the London premiere of a new Ballet Nights commission, as well as an appearance from the next generation of classically trained talent from English National Ballet School.

Live music remains integral to the Ballet Nights experience, with Quartet Concrète bringing their distinctive voice in contemporary and classical music to the celebrated Cadogan Hall stage. The evening also marks a new chapter for Ballet Nights as Anaish Yilma-Parmar makes his debut as Host & Compère, guiding audiences through each performance.

Three years on, Ballet Nights has built a tradition. Join us for another celebration of the artists like no other.
