Angelina Ballerina, the little star with big dreams will once again take to the stage with English National Ballet in her first live ballet Angelina’s Star Performance for a 15 week tour across the UK, opening at the New Wimbledon Theatre in September.
The Autumn Tour follows a hugely success Tours in 2007 and 2008 which saw Angelina Ballerina entertain over 150,000 Angelina fans across the UK. English National Ballet has had an overwhelmingly positive audience response to Angelina’s Star Performance including:
“We had a fantastic evening. It was a wonderful and fun ballet. My daughter loved it.”
“My youngest repeatedly said on the way home that it’s the best thing she’s ever seen. When she woke up this morning she asked if we could go again tonight!”
Helen Craig and Katharine Holabird, the creators of the Angelina Ballerina character and books, said: “We attended Angelina’s Star Performance several times, and thought it was absolutely beautiful and wonderfully funny. This sparkling and original ballet is a magical theatrical experience for young and old alike.”
With a cast of English National Ballet’s dancers, Angelina’s Star Performance offers a unique introduction for boys and girls aged 3+ years to experience their first live ballet.
Angelina’s Star Performance is based upon author Katherine Holabird’s and Illustrator Helen Craig’s successful and timeless book Angelina at the Palace which follows Angelina as she prepares to stage her own performance of The Sleeping Beauty, at the request of the Queen in her splendid palace. She even has a real life Princess, Princess Valentine, to star alongside her in the show. It’s Angelina's biggest challenge yet… will she manage to pull it off?
Angelina’s Star Performance is choreographed by Antony Dowson, with costumes, based on the original Angelina Ballerina drawings, by Wizzy Shawyer and set designs from Al Riches. -- www.ballet.org.uk
