World Ballet Day 2019
22 Oct 2019
On Wednesday 23 October, we're celebrating #WorldBalletDay with ballet companies from all over the world. Join us from 3.30pm BST for a look into rehearsals of Christopher Wheeldon's Cinderella.
Tune in as First Soloists Alison McWhinney and Aitor Arrieta rehearse the lead roles of Cinderella and Prince Guillaume before they make their debuts during the matinee performance on Thursday 24 October at the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton.
Ballet Master Laurent Guilbaud coaches them both along with Henry Dowden (as Benjamin), Julia Conway (as Stepsister Clementine), and the Four Fates (danced by Skyler Martin, Daniel McCormick, Erik Woolhouse and Ken Saruhashi).
