Ballet Nights returns to Cadogan Hall to celebrate its third birthday, bringing another world-class programme of dance to the Cadogan stage.
This edition welcomes the return of world ballet stars Yasmine Naghdi and Reece Clarke of The Royal Ballet and Opera, alongside world stars and Lead Principals of English National Ballet, Sangeun Lee and Gareth Haw – a rare convergence of two of the UK’s leading companies on a single stage.
Royal Ballet soloist Harris Bell also returns to the Ballet Nights stage, joined by a landmark moment for the platform’s mission to bring international voices to London: the UK debut of Cape Town City Ballet, the first South African company to perform on a Ballet Nights stage.
Alongside so much more, join us for another evening of this ballet tradition.
