Europe's Best Dance Company, Northern Ballet arrives in Blackpool next week for 2 nights only

GET swept away by unrivalled storytelling, dance and live music as Northern Ballet performs Madame Butterfly at The Grand Theatre, Blackpool from 26 May to 27 May 2015. Recently awarded Best Company at the European Taglioni Ballet Awards, Northern Ballet specialise in creating and performing classical story ballets and will bring world class ballet to the doorstep of audiences in the region.

Madame Butterfly is choreographed by Artistic Director David Nixon OBE and is one of Northern Ballet's most popular full length productions. In this heartbreakingly tragic ballet, audiences will be transported to Japan where the doomed love affair between American Naval Lieutenant, Pinkerton, and his young Japanese bride, Butterfly, begins. Madly in love and prepared to sacrifice everything, Butterfly's world falls apart when she is betrayed and forced into a dramatic climax. Recreated especially for the new tour, Madame Butterfly is a 2 act ballet featuring all new sets and is performed to the famous Puccini score played live by Northern Ballet Sinfonia.

The programme also features Perpetuum Mobile, choreographed by Christopher Hampson, Artistic Director of Scottish Ballet. Performed to Bach's Violin Concerto in E Major, the 17 minute long Perpetuum Mobile provides an excellent introduction to the technical and athletic talents of Northern Ballet's dancers. The piece showcases the incredible strength and prowess of the Company to leave audiences breathless.

David Nixon said:- "Perpetuum Mobile is a beautiful neo-classical work and Madame Butterfly a wonderful dramatic narrative piece; so this programme is a perfect introduction of the two faces of Northern Ballet. Our Company has incredibly talented dancers and these two works will provide the opportunity for audiences to see the dancers performing at their most physical as well as demonstrating their abilities as dance-actors of the highest standard. Introducing this new strand of touring is designed to enrich the dance offering within the region, challenging the perceptions of which stories can be told through ballet and providing audiences with something different than Swan Lake or The Nutcracker."

Tickets for Northern Ballet's Madame Butterfly with Perpetuum Mobile are on sale now and can be booked online or by calling the box office on:- 01253 290190.
