A critically acclaimed ballet company is coming to Brighton.
The Varna International Ballet and Orchestra will be making its first ever visit to the UK.
The prestigious Bulgarian company, which celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2022, brings with it four classical ballets: the romantic Swan Lake, set to Tchaikovsky’s score; the comic Coppélia, about a doll brought to life; the tragic Giselle, in which love continues after death; and festive favourite The Nutcracker, featuring an enchanted journey on Christmas Eve.
Varna will visit Brighton Theatre Royal from February 13 to 15.
Artistic director Daniela Dimova and music director and chief conductor Peter Tuleshkov said: “We are thrilled to be bringing our highly talented company of dancers and musicians to the UK for the very first time.
“We can’t wait to perform for British audiences and to bring these magical ballets to life on stage.”
Varna State Opera was founded in 1947 by renowned Bulgarian tenor Peter Raycheff.
