Tyne Theatre & Opera House are thrilled to welcome the superb English Youth Ballet back to their stage. The company were last at Tyne Theatre in 2016 with their stunning performance of Giselle. English Youth Ballet is also offering an exciting opportunity for 100 boys and girls aged 8-18 to perform in The Nutcracker.

English Youth Ballet present a dazzling, colourful and appealing interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet, The Nutcracker, featuring an impressive cast of up to 100 young dancers.

The ensemble of dances, Tchaikovsky’s beautiful music and the magic of the sets and beautiful costumes create Clara’s dream of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Godfather Drosselmeyer gives Clara the Nutcracker Doll and her love for him transforms him back to the Nutcracker Prince. He takes Clara through the land of Snow to the Kingdom of Sweets where dances are celebrated in her honour.

Now in its twenty first year, English Youth Ballet has gained in popularity and has an established reputation for classic and dramatic productions of the famous full length classical ballets. With professional dancers dancing the leading roles, the company gives young dancers throughout the UK a wonderful performance opportunity to dance alongside the principals in solo and corps de ballet roles.

Theatre Director Joanne Johnson said: "It's an absolute pleasure to welcome the English Youth Ballet back to our stage. This wonderful company is led by Janet Lewis MBE who had a distinguished career with The Royal Ballet, and they always guarantee stunning productions. The auditions will give young dancers a chance to perform in our beautiful Victorian Theatre alongside professional dancers, which is an excellent opportunity.”
