Northern Ballet Prepares for The Great Gatsby Tour

Northern Ballet Prepares for The Great Gatsby Tour

After their Nutcracker run comes to end early next year, The Northern Ballet prepares for The Great Gatsby, a ballet choreographed by former Artistic Director David Nixon CBE.

The spring tour begins in March of 2023 at Leeds Grand Theatre followed by several performances at Sheffield’s Lyceum Theatre and London’s Sadler’s Wells.

Inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel set in the Roaring Twenties, Nixon’s adaptation features sets by Jérôme Kaplan and Chanel-inspired costumes designed by Nixon himself. Sir Richard Rodney Bennett’s CBE’s score will be played live by the Northern Ballet Sinfonia. 

Having premiered in 2013, this version of The Great Gatsby earned Nixon a nomination for Best Classical Choreography in the 2014 National Dance Awards.

"Like many, I fell in love with Fitzgerald's timeless novel at a young age and it continues to capture my imagination to this day. The glamour of the 1920's lends itself beautifully to the stage with stunning costumes and sets and the music by the late Sir Rodney Richard Bennett CBE transports the audience to an elusive time of lavish parties and prohibition and jazz. I’m thrilled that Federico has chosen to bring back this beloved production to theatres next Spring and I hope that audiences will continue to be delighted and entertained by the glitz and glamour of Fitzgerald’s captivating 20s once again."
David Nixon CBE
