From Theatre Royal Bath: London City Ballet presents a new company of celebrated dancers from around the world at the Theatre Royal Bath this month, when it launches its first tour after a break of almost 30 years.
The Resurgence tour, which includes performances at many of the former company’s beloved venues in the UK, opens with six performances in Bath appearing from Wednesday 17 th to Saturday 20 th July. The UK tour concludes at Sadler’s Wells in London in September. The company will also perform in Italy, Portugal, China and at the Joyce Theater in New York.
Under the direction of Artistic Director Christopher Marney (former principal dancer at New Adventures and director of the Joffrey Ballet Studio Company of Chicago), the company will perform a programme of acclaimed works by British choreographers, including a revival of Kenneth MacMillan’s 1972 one-act ballet Ballade, unseen in Europe for over 50 years. The repertoire also includes Ashley Page’s Larina Waltz marking the ballet’s 30 th anniversary, and Olivier award-winner Arielle Smith premieres a new creation, Five Dances. A full company work by Christopher Marney called Eve, which premiered at Sadler’s Wells in 2022, will complete the performance.
