Ashley Page’s Larina Waltz, will mark the ballet’s 30th anniversary, while Five Dances is a new work premiering from Olivier award-winner Arielle Smith. Completing the programme will be Eve, a full company work by Christopher Marney, which premiered at Sadler’s Wells in 2022, and the revival of Kenneth MacMillan’s 1972 one-act ballet Ballade, unseen in Europe for over 50 years.
