The atmosphere created in the theatre was superb with the lavishly detailed, tim burton-esqe sets providing a beautiful and visually stimulating backdrop to the performers.

The cleverly designed low level lighting added to the gothic gloom of the piece and the music, full of sharp strings and angular sounds, Further complimented the ambience. As always the costumes were beautifully put together, with the female dancers flowing gowns adding to the almost dreamlike quality of the show.

The ballet was a lot darker and slightly more heavy going than northern ballet’s usual fare but the slow burn of the First act build to a dramatic and exhilarating crescendo througout the second act.
