To celebrate our 50th anniversary in 2019, Scottish Ballet launched an ambitious Five in Five Campaign - to commission and stage five new full-length ballets in five years, one for every decade of our company’s history. This is a huge undertaking, but one that brings rich rewards.
Five in Five
‘We have the talent, we have the drive and we have the experience to create something truly special’
Christopher Hampson, CEO/Artistic Director
New work challenges and motivates our dancers, attracts the very best artists to Scotland and inspires the next generation of young dancers. We will also stimulate and nourish our audiences and communities.

With your help, we can reach our goal of £5million in five years.
We are already well on our way to achieving this target thanks to substantial up-front pledges from valued patrons. By supporting this initiative, you will ensure our dancers and audiences will be inspired by the excellence Scottish Ballet can offer.
