SWAN LAKE
It will come as little surprise to our audiences that Scottish Ballet’s tour of Swan Lake has now been rescheduled to Spring 2021.
If you have purchased tickets, don't worry, your seats are safe, as all tickets will be transferred like-for-like for the April 2021 dates. Your local theatre will contact you in the coming weeks regarding your rescheduled tickets and refund options.
THE SCANDAL AT MAYERLING
Our new production The Scandal at Mayerling will now be presented in Autumn 2021.
If you have purchased tickets for either tours, your local theatre will contact you directly regarding your rescheduled tickets and refunds.
THE NUTCRACKER
Due to the ongoing restrictions around maintaining social distancing we have, in consultation with our touring theatres, taken the difficult decision to reschedule our winter tour of The Nutcracker to 2021/22.
Performances in all six tour cities will be rescheduled, and box office staff are now in the process of contacting ticket buyers to transfer their tickets.
We look forward to sharing this magical production with audiences when we are confident we can do so with everyone's safety & comfort as our top priority.
SBTV
Whilst our theatres are closed, we plan to keep you inspired and entertained at home with our pioneering digital content.
On stage is where our dancers truly come alive; bodies flow in elegant arcs, limbs sweep seamlessly through space, and eyes sparkle in the spotlight. But at Scottish Ballet, the screen is also our stage.
During these strange times, experience Scottish Ballet in the comfort of your home. Our SBTV page is packed with award-winning films, invigorating tutorials and behind-the-scenes documentaries.
In the coming weeks we’ll also be creating new, invigorating, digital dance experiences to share with you online. Stay tuned!
SB HEALTH
In times such as these, it is even more important than usual to extend a hand to the community around us and find ways to share experiences and spark joy.
In a regular week at Scottish Ballet, our Dance Health department run several classes for people living with Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, and dementia, as well as Regenerate classes for people aged over 60 to exercise body and mind, and build strength, technique and creative movement. These programmes have grown since 2012 to form the backbone of many people’s exercise regimens and social calendars, which is why we are committed to offering a digital version during these challenging times of self-isolation.
From Monday to Friday, we’re inviting everyone to join us on Facebook Live to dance together! Each day’s class will be tailored to the specific needs of its respective community group, but everyone is welcome to join in with any class. Don’t worry if you can’t make the live stream, all of our classes will be available on Facebook to catch-up.
