Big plans for the golden year

To celebrate the Scottish Ballet’s 50th anniversary it has unveiled its ambitious plans for the 2019/20 season. Launching in March in Inverness, the company is aiming to stage five new full-length ballets in five years, including world premieres such as The Snow Queen and The Crucible. To thank the public for their support, Scottish Ballet will also make five wishes come true throughout 2019. These could include dancers performing at a birthday party or even getting up on stage yourself. The public are encouraged to submit their wishes and following a public vote and the consideration of the judging panel including Dame Darcy Bussell, the lucky five will be announced.
