Three Short Ballets
Three choreographers. Three distinctive works. One extraordinary evening of ballet.
Experience three bite-sized ballets by world-renowned choreographers when Three Short Ballets returns for 2026.
Intimate Pages
Choreographed by Tiler Peck
Inspired by an exquisite string quartet piece by Czech composer Leoš Janáček, who composed with a love interest in mind, Intimate Pages dives into our intense human desire for connection. From solitude and longing to ecstasy and elation, the dancers take us on the heart-racing journey of finding love, brought vividly to life through enthralling group work, passionate duets, and the harmony between movement and music.
Adagio Hammerklavier
Choreographed by Hans van Manen
A ‘timeless classic of twentieth-century dance’, this awe-inspiring exploration of strength, precision and partnership is an ‘ode to deceleration’. Choreographed to Christoph Eschenbach’s exceptionally slow performance of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata no. 29, three couples tread the fine line between stillness and motion, like a wheel that turns so slowly it’s on the brink of stopping. Balance and control shape every movement, reflecting the delicate dynamics of relationships: intimacy, passion, tension, conflict and understanding.
Winter Dances
Choreographed by David Nixon CBE
Former Northern Ballet Artistic Director David Nixon CBE returns with Winter Dances. A UK premiere, this beautifully expressive dance feels like a family portrait that comes to life through the elegance, strength, and artistry of ballet.
