Northern Ballet are following on from the great success of their children’s ballet production of the ‘Tortoise & the Hare’, with an environmental themed reimagining of the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale ‘Hansel & Gretel’ as they take a trip into the forest, unaware of the damage they leave behind. When they get lost, the siblings meet a host of spirited friends who teach them how we can all better look after the planet - and have some fun along the way.
RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey was joined by Pippa Moore MBE, Northern Ballet’s Artistic and Learning Assistant plus Audio Describer along with Northern Ballet dancer Harris Beattie, one of the Choreographers of ‘Hansel & Gretel’ to give some background to the staging of their new children’s ballet.
‘Hansel & Gretel’ premieres at the Stanley & Audrey Burton Theatre in Leeds from 15 - 22 February, before embarking on an extensive UK tour from 1 March - 7 June.
