This morning started with an early morning photo shoot to launch our winter fundraising gala, The Night of The Snow Queen. To celebrate that Brian Wilson, former Beach Boy, will join us to provide entertainment at the event, three of our dancers posed with surf boards at Hyde Park Corner outside the Intercontinental Hotel, where the event is to be held in November.

This weekend are the final studio rehearsals before the Company travels to Liverpool for The Snow Queen premiere. The dancers and creative team can't wait to get it all on stage - and to see those fabulous sets!

The costumes for this fantastic ballet are really magnificent, the attention to detail stands out within the corps de ballet numbers especially; not one costume is a copy of another. The Costume department have done an outstanding job of bringing these hundreds of costumes, wigs, headresses and jewellery together in time.
